Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What is a serious hunter?

Guess I'm gettin' less serious by the trip.


Back in October it came a frog-choker. Wind was blowing 35 MPH + and the rain was going side-ways. I had stayed up till 1 AM listening to a Michael Connelley Audiobook, and when the alarm went off at 5 AM I got up, used a convenient coffee can, laid back down and slept in till 8 AM.

Last time I was up, it was dark-thirty and a small hoglet came into view. As it was evening I decided there was not enough meat to warrant skinning. I let him walk, came back, built a fire and enjoyed a stogie and a beverage. Didn't feel bad about my decision in the least! A few years back, that never would have happened. Heck, I've even quit tracking wounded boars at night through the cat-claw and cactus, on my hands and knees, pistol in one hand and a light in the other. Decided it might be prudent to quit that before my luck ran out.



The big ones can rip ya' a new orifice!








ya!
