I can imagine. Habitat should be very similar and all aspects of timber mgmt benefits them in some way. Unfortunately we're one big nesting area right now as thick as it is with a buffet for anytime the temps dip. I usually work on them with 00 or 4-0 from a 12ga and a flashlight. They're dumb enough to let you walk up on them at night, so I can get a lot of lead out in a very short amount of time. Land is really too fragmented to run dogs. 200ac is a big tract for that area so have to get permission from a ton of 5-40ac landowners to keep up with them.

Best of luck with the hogs. Nasty suns of guns! Looks like they enjoyed your wheat though (I'm assuming thats what it is anyway). My inlaws live about an hour east of waco just outside of fairfield. They are really bad in spots out there, but everytime I go out there and sit in the stand I get skunked. As soon as I leave my father in law will send a pic from the same stand with a big ol pig under the feeder...

Unfortunately my year continues to be a tough one. As I mentioned, my buddy seemed to get all the luck being able to shoot one of the ones on camera Sunday a.m and at the other sat night.
I did shoot a decent massed 8 pt but unfortunately for me I hit a limb and hit him high (dead zone?), fortunate for him, I am confident it was not mortal. Contemplating going back for either shotgun season or muzzy. l already have muzzy booked.

Thanks. We're about 1.5hrs fro Fairfield. In fact, my hometown just got smoked by them in the opening round of HS football playoffs for the 2nd year in a row. That's how it is here as well, I have spells where they're there every day, sometimes a couple times a week and sometimes no sign of them for a couple months. They're supposed to be gone right now with acorns still falling. It's a mix of wheat, elbon rye, oats & Austrian winter peas.
I saw one for the first time that I've had on camera for the past 5 years Saturday morning. Prime deer time and I just let him walk...smh
coming out a minute behind him on the same trail.
Sun morning, prime deer time...
I swear, both mornings the does that were out there just looked at me in disgust.

This one also keeps moving past the camera too quick. Looks like a 6pt and if so I'm hoping it's one that I've watched for the past few years and he's still around. I said I'd shoot him last year towards the end of season and that'll still stand this year.
and didn't expect this one to be over where this scrape is, but apparently he is. The only pics I got of him over 2 weeks when he's usually on at least one camera daily. That worries me.

Well, just got back from Ohio again and had these guys on camera. The big one was the morning after I left after figuring out the times and days from not setting on the new cam(had to return a day earlier than normal for a wedding) and the half rack was 5 days before getting back there. I did finally put some meat in the freezer with a big doe! First kill with a muzzleloader!
Unless I get lucky in January I have some more to look forward to next year!

Here kitty kitty
good wolf shot
I have gotten whitetail on both camera locations. We don't have mule deer in this part of Idaho.

This guy showed up at my buddies place at the end of November. Came by right before sunrise according to the time stamp. I may have drooled a little...
