Bow hunting in Crockett is always fun, there are a group of us that go, there were 6 me and Joe, Robert and his son Joe and Felix and his dad. Felix got a ticket for not having and archery stamp so he was depressed and left early.
I hiked down in the woods a little more than a half of a mile, I had found a stand of oak trees that had some acorns under them, which was the first acorns that we had found, there was also a fresh rub.
I started hunting this place Thursday afternoon because the previous place didn't pan out and I had hunted there 2 hunts, anyways me and Joe find this spot and I decide to hunt it. Now like I said it was over a half of a mile down there so i got set up and hunted till dark.
Being the brave soul that I am, I had convinced myself that the pigs were not going to mess with me and they didn't , there was a lot of pig sign. Sitting in a tree for hours can give a person a lot of time to think and sometimes not all the thoughts are comforting, I quit watching the horror movies a long time ago.
It was Saturday morning before i saw a deer it was a 6 point but he seen me first i was looking out into the oaks and turned and he came in from my left side behind me at 17 yards and was gone, had I not seen anything I was going to find somewhere else to go. Saturday night I had 8 small pigs, the size of soccer balls come by at 20 yards but decided not to shot as I didn't want a squealing pig messing up my deer hunt, as i explained back at camp that I was there to deer hunt and not pig hunt.
