OK, So I have been devarmintizing our property for the last 6 weeks or so. The cats are doing a great job at hunting the ground moles, and I have been taking care of the squirrels. Well, we have 2 ground hawgs on the property which have been sly to say the least. These are a magical on the level of Criss Angel when it comes to vanishing.....
Well today, one of them gets within range of my window. All is safe for the shot but the screen is down, and hasnt been opened much in the last 10 years. needless to say it was noisy and every time it creaked he stopped, stood up and looked around. I was unable to get that screen up. So I went to my front porch and hoped he would poke his head around the corner of the house. Well, he did but evidently he spotted me peeking out my rifle from around the pillar of my porch. So he went back to the original spot and I knew I couldnt get the screen up so I went and put my rifle away. Then I went to go get my pellets that I had left on the porch. Damn if he wasnt standing up on MY PORCH looking at me in the EXACT spot I had been standing when he spotted me not 2 minutes earlier.
So I go around the house, and try and sneak up on him. Gone, no signs, nothing. You just cant make this stuff up..........At this point I know he is onto me. I could really use some suggestions on how to bait him into a proper spot so I can take this destructive varmint out cleanly. Yea Yea Yea go ahead and laugh at me.........I know its funny and i couldnt resist posting up!
