Opening Day is On It's Way

In just a little more than two weeks it will be opening day of the archery season. I am so looking forward to it. I have shot my bow almost every day since last October. I have a tree stand with everything I need to put it up quickly. I have shot from it and I hit where I want to most of the time. I am ready.

This weekend I put up the stand where I think Big Boy is going to hang out. Once I put it up, I am not going back there until I go there to hunt. I want him nice and comfortable without a worry in the world when I send him to the next one.

I have be getting pictures of a herd of pigs on the Farm on a regular basis lately. There is one that is huge. The problem is that they are moving at night and I am not set up to hunt in the dark. All my resources have gone into getting gear for deer hunting. It's the same gear for deer and hogs, except hogs can be hunted at night. I am trying to figure out away to hack some inexpensive light source that I can use to become a night stalker. If you have any ideas send them my way.

The pears have been dropping from the trees and I have been taking some of them into the woods. I drop them on the ground in front of my trail cam. The deer and the hogs love them. They may have just become the cheap attractant I need to lure the hogs into a light so that I can send them into the light. We will see.

The picture shows nine arrows from the tree stand at about 30 yards.
