Some folks go dove hunting when dove season starts. I go hog hunting.
Actually, I was due out on Wednesday, but the landowner called me and said it was raining pretty good and wasn't due to stop. So we agreed I would come on Thursday. The closer I got to the property, the more it was raining. I hung out in the driveway for a long while until there was a break and made the long trek out to the stand. It started raining on me again when I was about 50 yards out, LOL. Got in and setup and then just waited. Conditions were terrible for thermal (plant and ground temperatures homogenize in the rain), but the animals still showed up pretty well. I watched a doe and twin fawns run around for a bit, and about an hour after arriving in the stand, this guy showed up...
