Hoggin' Around With A Tent Chair
by Larry Land

It's a sad day when you sit, staring at your hands, and realize you don't have enough fingers to count the months until next deer season.

You may have glanced up at your Tent Chair Blind and were hit with the realization that you just ripped off the last turkey allowed for this year. You can either accept that you've been short changed on excitement, for yet another hunting season, or you can do something about it.

There's a beast out there with intelligence, an acute sense of smell, nervous as a cat, can turn on you if you don't kill him outright and no closed season. Sounds like a cure for depression to me! Wild hogs can provide a rush that, for many of us, is just as intense as an encounter with a deer or turkey.

The past few years we've been chasing hogs in Oklahoma and Texas, and since the creative minds at Scentite dreamed up the Tent Chair Blind, it's become a must have for every trip. The rifle and muzzleloader boys, I hunt with, usually opt for the "Sportsman" or the "Original" Tent Chair Blind. Those of us that are hardcore bowhunters need the extra room found inside the "Magnum". Thanks to the comfort and protection provided by a Tent Chair Blind, a rainy weekend doesn't have to spoil a hunt, as in the past.

Most of the hunts I've been on were with an outfitter because there's not enough time to drive a sixteen or twenty hour round trip, throw out an attractant and have hogs coming to it before the weekend is over.

Though your scent is well contained inside a Tent Chair Blind, to successfully hunt anything with a nose demands discipline with scent control. For a bowhunter especially, your best defense is to play the wind and use every good scent control product on the market. If there are cedars or pines in the area set up against them or fasten a few boughs to the blind with it's brush ties. Either way, you've employed one of natures great cover scents.

Hunting for meat hogs, instead of all trophies, can pay off big. You'll have to shoot more to fill your cooler, it costs less, the meat is excellent and you can prove how sensitive you are by insisting that not every scared up, ugly, tick infested head be mounted and hung in the dining room.

If you want the extended version of adrenaline overloads, practice launching a few arrows from your "Magnum" Tent Chair Blind and the confidence needed will be there when it counts. Have a great season!
