I've had an invitation for a few years from a buddy of mine to hunt his ranch in Texas for exotics and hogs. I finally took him up on the offer this year and my buddy Doug and I headed down there.
The first night we got there we didnt shoot anything although we both had a lot of critters come into our stands. We had axis, fallow, sika, and hogs but decided to just see what was there.
Heres a snapshot of some white fallows that showed up:
Had 3 different color phase fallows show up and could have shot all of them. I decided to pass waiting for hogs.
A little later some sika deer came in:
Right at dark a few hogs came in, but nothing of any size.
The following two days we quit looking and started shooting. When the smoke cleared we had 21 animals on the ground. We shot 3 axis deer, 4 sika, 1 fallow, 1 rio grande turkey, and 12 hogs.
Heres a picture of one of the two axis I shot. I had a big herd of them come in and waited until two were lined up and got 2 with one shot. This was the one in the back, perfect placement after shooting through the shoulder of the front one. My buddy Doug also took 2 hogs with one shot, both perfect placement as well.
Heres a hog that came in real early with about a dozen others...big mistake.
We drove back and cut up all the critters the next two days. The hog is outstanding eating...glad it is as I've got a bunch of it.
