Well here it is, made a plane for the 18 days in May - Times at Main Food Plot - Target was Razorback but Leary in hindsight was a 8:30's pm hog.
262 Days Report - Don't Shoot - Told by multiple times MDC employees only hunt part of my property during deer season to trap, and confirmed later in turkey season that mean only half 40 acres.
"It's only a single bore not that big of deal." Quote - BUT NOW MULTIPLE HOGS
November 26th Federal Trapper Showed Up
34 days of USDA Aphis Hog Trapper - Gave Up
Gave up Last Half of Bow Season first time in 30 plus years and gave up half of trapping allow hog trapper full access with no interference by me or others.
February 18th - Built my own trap
95 days
1 daylight photo of Geronimo, 1 Dalight photo hog name Jefferies in 262 days
May 15th Hunted 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
May 18th Hunted 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. - Killed Geronimo
May 23rd Hunted 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. - Killed Leary
Hunting with Thermals.
Also best bet to kill from Duke X-stand without being detected.
The Wallow as of this Morning the 18th. This time Leary came from the East from out of food plot and I could hear something flopping like ears on a dog shacking it's head. Multiple times, same noise until it came in on the trail I took too the stand.
Ended up at base of stand could not see it my chest pack in the way. First sighting with thermal spotting scope was about the view in front of thermalcell below leaf canopy to the south of me and it looks like a deer walking. Until it shook it's head again. Then I knew it was a large hog.
I turned on scope and got it off rail and just in time to get it up and shoot. Hog went down with one shot and feet up at 30 yards.
Turn scope recording and the hog started to move and crawling. Put more rounds in keep it from going down hill anymore. Ended up dying 20 feet from where Geronimo died.
I knew he was too wet and too muddy, not to come from my pond on the 23rd, plus the direction it came from. Last photos of Leary before he was shot at around 8:30 p.m.on May 23rd. Now waiting game for Conservation Area to produce more hogs - No hogs last 8 days on any cameras.

.223 - 55 grain Fort Scott Munitions - Double Tumbler eat and went turned feet up and did not move for a few seconds then started crawling for 10 feet and died with a few more rounds.

Monsters Really Do Exist in Missouri
Another large hog requiring winch, straps and sled.
Official Weight is 200 lbs.
Unfortunately - Since I next to Castor River Conservation Ground owned by the Missouri Department of Conservation which has created a Wild Hog Refuge with broken system and policy made up of lies to the public. It's not the last one.
Wild Hog - AJ - Which appears to be even bigger.
Wild Hog - Razorback SPP - At least this one is smaller.
