Pulled 2 nice boars and 1 absolutely brute boar coon. Hoping to get a few more sets out tomorrow, between the rain and being sick it’s been a slow start How’s everybody else doing??

Might set some coon set a little before that but I am gonna be archery hunting hard the first two weeks of November.

Great catches by the way. I got out 8 sets before the rain got too bad. 4 were along one stretch of creek and had a double and the other two sets were misfired. 2 dps in another spot we’re both empty but not fired. Had another 2 dps out behind the trap shed and one was laying on the ground empty not fired and the other had that big bore. Got in another two dirt hole sets and a box set out and going to put out a couple trail sets and go set up a few spots at my grandpas house.

Getting him out without using a firearm was a heck of a rush this morning. I’ll see if I can get a picture of him up Last edited by ToCatchAPredator; 10/27/22 08:34 AM.
