Hogs are starting to show up again near my house. I saw one the other morning on my way to the motor vehicle office and the day before, my neighbor shot at one in the back of his place.
Heres another one taken with a muzzy. Last chance “power drive” on the way back from a whitetail hunt. He crossed the road in front of us, I bailed out of the buggy, grabbed my biddies rifle and took a shot on the run. What a blast!
Nice! I've never hunted hogs, but it sounds like lots of fun. I'm guessing that a good wild one can be great eating? Probably leaner and drier but a lot more flavorful than the grocery store variety of pork?
IMO, hunting hogs is more fun than deer cause you can shoot as many as ya want down here! And the smallish ones ( I call em football pigs <50 lbs) are excellent eating! Also take them to my local Mexican restaurant and the owner there makes me pork tamales! Like you‘ve died and gone to heaven good eatin…..
Here’s a big hairy boar that showed up while I was hog hunting out of town. I killed him a few weeks later with a thermal and modern rifle View attachment IMG_1877.mov
