[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 1094804, member: 55410"] Well bless your hearts! I am just glad to have the opportunities. I hunted hogs for many months before I ever got a chance at my first one and I missed him. Things have come a long way since then. Recently, we have gone through two periods of heavy rains resulting in a lot of flooding and the hogs are definitely roaming in higher numbers through areas that they might not otherwise roam...though this oats field appears to be a magnet regardless of the weather. I went back and looked at Google Earth images of the field and there are game trails through the field on the images from previous years. This place is just a honey hole, though an absolutely horrible place to hunt safely and efficiently. The reason there are only 2 safe directions of fire is that the other two directions are bordered by houses beyond the tree line. To compound matters, the other two directions sometimes have horses or cattle in the field around the oats (and cattle sometimes get in as well, LOL). We have been out there twice and just had to watch hogs because we could not move into position to shoot them and they would not move into a position where we could shoot them without endangering the neighbors or livestock. It isn't all rainbows and unicorns, but some day I will get that body double to stand in for me! [/QUOTE]
