[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 730548, member: 30902"] Don't feel bad. Not so many years ago I was such a rabid hunter that I filled not only my tags but my freezer full of venison usually by the end of the first week or so of the season. Now I spend most of the season working then I run out and sit in the truck or just go sit on a fence line watching fields for the last half hour of daylight. Tonight in less than a half hour I had 22 does and five pretty nice bucks all in range. The closest I came to pulling the trigger was just getting steadied up and fingering it a little. I tell my wife the same thing every year, the perfect deer hunt is one where I see lots of deer, maybe some other citters, and come home with a smile and a clean knife. This weekend I was watching a herd of 11 including one pretty nice buck and two youngsters on a wheat field when they started acting odd... The kept looking back to the southwest like something had them buggered. After a minute or two a 300lbs plus boar came screaming across the field, right through the deer and into the yearlings my neighbor had just turned out and he and a couple of hundred heifers all left northbound at warp speed. I never did figure out what inspired him, say no one over there and heard no shots. I found out today though the poor hog comitted suicide on the highway shortly thereafter HA! Sometimes nature is just an adult (for grown ups, not porn) comic book and the nice thing about Texas is you never know what you'll see till you start looking. [/QUOTE]
