great hunt (pic)

[TrevorAaron]

I have not been hunting ground hogs that much this year. I woke up and decided that I wanted to go so i grabbed the crockett and headed out the door. I rode my bike to a local fresh baled hay field and loaded her up. I walked into the field on a road then went over the big hill and I saw a spot to my right. Then I went back to the bottom of the hill and went back up the hill where the spot was. Well sure enough it was a fat ground hog out in the morning air and now I was only 15 yards away. I decided to make the hunt challenging by sneeking up on it. So i snuck up on it till 10 yds and it turned its head and looked at me. I pulled up quick and shot. After the 2f cleared out of the air I saw my trophy laying there. Thank God for great hunts like this.

Good hunt :thumbsup:. I gave up trying to get a ground hog with my muzzleloader this summer because there aren't that many of them around here unless they're in your yard :shocked2:. August 1st is squirrel season so I think I can wait. But, I think I might cheat and buy a 1 day small game hunting license and drive over to some public land in Missouri on Wednesday or Thursday. I still need to call a state game agent to make sure I can hunt public land being under 18. I think I'll be fine, though.

Far be it of me to put down any exotic Alaskan or African hunting trip, but this young kid's blackpowder hunting adventure in the Back 40 seems to capture all the essential elements of what hunting is, or should be, about. Congrats again.
