While hunting COE land around Wright Patman Lake, we found this interesting "bed/nest". It was between 5 & 6 ft long and 2-3ft wide and was kind of hollowed out in the middle. It looked like someone had used a rake to make it. As you can see in the photos there was also a pine root ball the size of a softball in the bed. We think it may be a pig birthing nest made by a sow getting ready to domino. No sooner than we left the nest we slipped up on a sounder of pigs and killed 2 nice sized sows. One sow had several pigs in her that looked to be a week or so from being born.

With the lake being around 20' feet high and flooded out right now, the place we are hunting is only accessible by boat. Anybody found anything like this in the woods?

Seriously.......no bigfoot references please.....LOL!!!
