Another exhausting weekend. Pics below. The last picture has a big white pig in it, but it's hard to see. Some faces have been removed because they don't want them on the internet. Lots of gutting this weekend.

One very interesting thing that I saw this weekend was a porcupine. I've seen them in East Texas but never in the area where I was hunting. I was hunting where the terrian turns from Hill Country Cedar into South Texas mesquite and cactus flats. This was a very large ranch I drove from sunrise to sunset. I am tired of being in a truck.

Just before dark I spotted a porcupine. The pictures below aren't great as it was getting dark and I was jogging next to the porcupine.

It's not a river. There are springs about five miles up from where I took the pic. The water is cold and crystal clear. I popped a pig in the middle of a part that was 18 inches deep. That pretty well sucked going to retrieve the pig. I only took one pair of boots.

I call it a creek but it is about 50 yards across for about 3 miles. It then tapers to 20 yards for another 5 miles before all going into a sink hole.

It's a brake killer. You cross it over and over every day. Anywhere front 5 inches to 15 inches. Brakes get wet, dry out, getwet, dry out. It's never gone dry. Here's some pics of the creek.

Yes, but I don't fresh water fish. Perfect place to fly fish for bass if you were into it.
