As I drove to check my traps this morning (8:30), I turned a corner and the bayou was black with birds. I thought they were buzzards. I stopped and glassed them ... it was crows ... and a sounder of 9 hogs.
I got out and walked towards them. The crows flew off ... but the hogs were oblivious. I was downwind ... but it was very light. I got to within 75 meters.
I watched them for over 10 mins. They never realized I was standing ... in the middle of the road ... with no camo and no cover.
They browsed and meandered into the woods.
A nice way to start the day off. Cup of good coffee and glassing wild hogs.
