The south Texas deer season had a late start for most hunters with December temperatures staying way above average, making it difficult for hunters across the state chasing whitetail. Late season showed promise for a chance at a big mature buck on the farm and had Charlie anxious to hunt as much as possible in the final weekend of muzzleloader season. However, as luck would have it, Charlie and his family would come down with the notorious Covid virus that would force Charlie into pulling the plug on the remainder of the season. Although discouraging, Charlie can now allow himself to put the season behind him and focus on what The Sounder is all about, hog hunting. It is now prime time to hunt hogs in every way possible in hopes of gaining ground on the war on hogs. With contestants putting up big numbers so far in January, Charlie hopes to be able to use all resources available to play catch up, and eradicate as many hogs on the property as possible to help preserve the native habitat that supports the native wild game. The next few months will be crucial for the contestants in the tournament and should provide the best hog hunting until late summer and early fall during the harvest season.
