Three Pigs Went to Market
Shooting a .308 cheap winnchester rounds. Switched to copper last year but couldn’t find the box before I left the house and store shelves are empty. With the amount of meat damage in the sow I’m surprised that bullet still passed through the second pig.- JTHOMP

Life with Sweetie
Made a run Friday morning and evening. Not much action happening in the morning but she made 2 trees. For the evening I ran with a buddy and his son and Sweetie was fine. Treed right off the bat with a double. Knocked both out but only found one. She treed again while we were still looking for...- JTHOMP

Three Pigs Went to Market
I took off a few days of work to hunt public land in north Louisiana. I was hoping to kill a buck or a couple pigs to stock up on ground meat. When I got to the parking area around 1:00 there was primarily a north wind. Not great but I thought I could make it work. Before this season I use to...- JTHOMP

Life with Sweetie
Sweet is coming along just fine! Made a long run this morning on Mississippi public. It was hot and drizzling. I had my doubts on finding squirrels but you couldn’t tell her that. Ended the morning with 4 trees. On the 3rd tree I saw a squirrel, and burned a pocket of shells trying to get him to...- JTHOMP

Life with Sweetie
I'm really thinking about making a run up north for an OOS squirrel hunt next year. It'd be nice to hunt somewhere where the leaves drop earlier in the year.- JTHOMP

Life with Sweetie
Long hot dog days of summer are finally over and fall is here. It's been awhile since I've updated Sweetie's progress. Through the months of August and September we ran occasionally just to keep her active. I don't recall anything special happening. The opening weekend of squirrel season (first...- JTHOMP

Sunday Pic of the Day
The bayou I use for access was still flooded into the woods from the recent storms. Went on an adventure to find dry ground and game.....none were able to join me on the paddle out.- JTHOMP

Recording hunt details?
Ive tried a couple times to keep a journal. One I did a good job of was while working capture season for a deer study, but the notebook was later stolen among other things. I had a lot of down time then and it make it easier to keep up with entries. I wish I knew the hunting stories of family...- JTHOMP

Arkansas Public Land Black Bear
Definitely a fun hunt. Oddly what probably is a tough hunt turned out much easier than I expected this year. There’s a lot of luck factors that went into the first spot I scouting being where bears were. But I’ll take luck any day. This time last year I was killing pigs every trip in the woods...- JTHOMP

Arkansas Public Land Black Bear
On Mikes property we used a variety of baits sweet fed, dog food, molasses, sardines. Didn’t have much activity on baits but acorns were falling. At one bait check it looked like the bear turned over the barrel of sweet feed only to eat the sardines that were in there. Going to try to collect...- JTHOMP

WA general deer hunt summary
If she’s that tough at age 9 I feel sorry for the next guy that swears at her for being too close to “his spot” when she’s older. Great story. Is she excited to go on another trip? Or cautious about the next one? -
Arkansas Public Land Black Bear
It’s over the counter. You buy the year long license for $350 and you can kill a bear in any area where bear hunting is allowed.- JTHOMP

Arkansas Public Land Black Bear
I brought it to Advanced Taxidermy outside of Fort Smith. The finish product is 10-11 months out but I really liked them. They were busy when I walked in and I didn’t know what I wanted. They answered every question I had and help figure what I wanted. They run a package deal that’s cheaper than...- JTHOMP

Arkansas Public Land Black Bear
Spring of 2018 I wanted to change things up for an out of state hunt, and I began researching bear hunting in the east. I settled on Arkansas and have hunted it for 3 seasons now. The first two times were during rifle season and most recent with a bow. Based on sign I’ve found and advice of...- JTHOMP
