sounds like freedom, and all in the world is okay at that moment!

God Bless the USA and our rights to hunt.

Finally had the chance finish reading thru this thread. It has been GREAT and I'm sure it's far from over. Wonderful trip, hunt, experience and memories.  Good job and congrats to all of you, esp Curt.  Much of Cade's maturity and success comes from within, but Dad has a tremendous part in it, too. You are both blessed.

OK...I guess its OK...haven't chatted with Curt today....to get to the next morning.

We corned...and that was an adventure in itself...the 4 wheelers tires went about half flat and I sure didn't want to have a tire pop off the rim and leave it stranded...so we took a chance, with the wet road and all the rain the property took the week before and had a go with a 2 wheel drive truck I'd hauled everything down with.

All was good till we got to Rob's stand to turn around and the long bed, as I suspected, was too long to turn around in the road...that truck has a TERRIBLE turning radius.  So, I had to back up and get a running start across a ditch and get to higher ground and turn around in the opening on the other side of the feeder....

It was hairy, but I made it...after getting the truck turned around with a bit more spinning I had to get back across with less speed.  So, I headed for the same ruts as before.  Curt had checked the ruts I'd made and it was somewhat hard bottom, and we thought it was best to hit them again as to not have to push mud out of the way making new ones....which would have loss speed.  I was so relieved when I was back on the other side of that ditch let me tell ya.....Then we corned our way out.

I decided to take pics and video this morning and not 'guide' as this was the last morning and I wanted to get some pics and footage of Curt and Cade together....what was to follow was an entire morning of stalking the WHOLE length of the 'Killer Kilometer'.  It started at Wood's stand and didn't end all the way to Rob's stand.  What a morning!!!!

Curts got a lot of pics and videos and I'm not sure how far along he is with them since they were to be delivered today UPS....

Yeah, getting the truck turned around me scared to death once I realized how tight it was back there!  But I didn't want to seem too worried to Terry because I was the one that pushed a bit and told him not to worry, "we'll get it turned around"...Terry was scared to death because he'd been stuck with this truck before...and we were in the middle of nowhere!!!!

Anyway....it worked out....we got out and the hunt was on!!

Like Terry said....from the time we got to Woods' Stand, we were into hogs.....I'll post some pix first.....then add some videos...
