The Hog Hunt Story & Pics

[Marty1]

Nice write-up FG on your hunt!  Can't wait to see any vids you might have.

I need to check into a hog hunt with a smoker of these days.

Wonderful nice set up you had Dad in.  Wish I still had mine around to hunt with.  Great times.  

You guys put the hurt on that pig.  Did you get to kill with the .58?

Since reading this thread, somehow I find I have a craving for pork.

The drive for hog meat is so great, that when Jane and I went shopping yesterday evening, I stopped at the meat counter and bought some lower fat, low salt, low nitrite, low taste bacon.
Then I added a package of low salt, low nitrite, low taste pork sausage.

But, when we go out for dinner on Sunday evening, I am going to order full-out, barbecue pork ribs. One "cheat" meal isn't going to hurt me!

And, as my Southern buddy tells me: "It ain't ribs! It's reeeeeiiiiibs." "Say it right or go home."

Many thanks to my fellow leaseholders.  Thanks very much Nate, Curtis and Gary for your permission to conduct this hunt.

About 8-10 years ago, my son's coworker heard him saying that I gave him some deer meat. Eventually, he invited me to go hunting on his lease. I've been invited back ever since. If it weren't for Chuck letting me hunt, I would have been skunked this year.

I get him a few steaks and bottles of wine every Christmas as a thank-you and he keeps inviting me back. He's a very nice fellow.

It's in other photos.  Maybe Mardi Gras beads.

Looking at the photo above it looks like the poor piggy's front legs are lot shorter than the back ones.  It couldn't run fast enough to get away.

Damn it! I keep forgetting to upload the hog video my brother took.

That sow may was the duty baby sitter that night. She was all over the place.

I can't believe they didn't try to shoot the 2 bigger ones.

Yep, like the old boy said "lead in the air you got a chance".

Nicely done F G, congratulations.  That was a real nice narrative with nice photos.  Wild game flavored with black powder always tastes better.........robin  8)
