Hunting in the snow
Monday, February 15, 2021, 08:43

Being a Louisiana native, I have never had the opportunity to hunt in the snow. The few times it snowed during season I had other duties to attend. I am about to remedy that. I am off until Friday so Pigs better watch out. I’m going to go out with my rifle for a walk and look for tracks then follow them! This afternoon I’m going to put out some corn in the usual areas and if I find sign some will go there. Dee and I saw a large sounder yesterday just 2 miles from here on a place I don’t yet have permission hunt. I heard the owner hates them so I’m stopping by today as well to have a conversation about permission.

I’ll cary a 308 waking and scouting, then if I get them coming to bait I’ll use my bisley 44 special. Hope to have a story to tell later this week!
