I've been to McAlister four times now. What a comedy of errors on my part. Last year, set up a blind in a plum thicket looking at a heavily used trail. Had the wind perfect, etc, and about two hours into it, heard a noise behind me. Turned my head slowly, and came eye to eye with a 150 class 12 point at about 20 yds down wind.
Guess I blinked first, he snorted and hauled ass before I could turn and get a shot.
Year before, spotted 10 pigs on a small food plot in a driving rain. Made the stalk, and got within 25 yds of the big sow when I stepped on a stick. Amazing how fast they can run.
If you kill a pig there, you get a free pass for the next year without having to do the OWDC drawing.
