Ugggh, Corey! Man, I hope you get better soon. As I'm sure you know, when your back's out, your whole body's out. I know firsthand.
Yep, I may have a few less targets on one particular farm because I hunt early, but I have very happy farmers who spread the word and bring me new farms with more targets to hunt all Summer. I specifically tell them, "It's mating season and I want to get 'em early." When they learn you're safe, that you don't climb their fences and gates causing additional property destruction, AND they're seeing fewer hogs and holes, you're GOLDEN!
I agree. They ARE tough to eliminate, but it is dang fun trying. Man, forget about competing with you for the body count. I'd just like to catch up to you in huntable acreage. I sure could use 1600+ acres. Kills or no kills, I can still have a GREAT day just walking these terrific farms.
