Well here it is, had to make a plan using April. 11 Times at main Food Plot and in hindsight 5 more times in May.
September 4th, 2018 First entered Property.
257 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
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
90 days
1 daylight photo of Geronimo in 257 days
May 15th started Hunting
1 1/2 Days of Hunting with Thermals.
Also best bet to kill from Duke X-stand without being detected.
The Wallow as of this Morning the 18th. He came in from the North and I am sitting South at 25 yards. In hope he will go into food plot and kill him on the trail.
Of course it never works like that.

But instead as you notice in last game camera photo he is headed due south dead at me. Ended up 7 steps from the stand, which is where I took stand photo, when I pulled trigger.
View from Duke X-Stand - Still trying to learn the FLIR PST-233 features.
Would have whole thing recorded but still learning. Oops May 18th, 2009

I let the .223 - 55 grain Fort Scott Munitions - Double Tumbler eat and went 40 yards dead as hammer.

All I could do is spin it in a circle - Took - Tow Strap, Two Ropes and Extending my winch cable out full length to get him up the hill. Why do they always run down hill. Then had to winch it on the sled.

Official Weight is 210 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.
