When it comes to hog hunting, the excitement is undeniable, and our recent Two-Night Hog Hunting adventure guided by Peanut Protector Clayton was no exception. Will and Ryan joined us for a Hog Hunt filled with unexpected twists and memorable moments. Here’s how their journey went down!
Night 1: The Long Wait and a Lonely Hog
“Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah,” was the mantra echoing in Guide Clayton’s head as he finally witnessed the sweet success of his Hunters. After a slow start where thoughts of “you don’t want to know the things that I say in my head when it is late and I haven’t seen any pigs yet” buzzed through his mind, things began to change.
The first half of the night felt like an eternity, with not a Hog in sight. Just as the team was losing hope around 2 AM, fortune smiled upon them. In the midst of the cut corn and overgrowth, they spotted a lonely little Hog searching for friends. Sadly for him, he met Will and Ryan instead.
The terrain presented a challenge – there were spots where the Wild Hog would seemingly vanish into the thick brush, while other patches offered a crystal-clear view. After a couple of adjustments to their positioning, they finally secured a clear shot. It only took two bullets before the Little Hog fell, disappearing into the dark underbrush.
Finding the Hog, however, became somewhat of an adventure in itself. With a mischievous grin, Clayton joked about needing to hop onto Ryan’s shoulders – a pivot, but human and not steel! Even with the fun and laughter, they eventually located their prize, marking a successful end to their first night.
