Nice

Mine was a 300+ 3' boar taken back in 97 with the same recurve I'm shooting now.

FT where did you shoot him at?

 

[Family Tradition]

Quartering away right at the back of the ribcage just like I was taught.

 

[Lurediver]

Location?

 

[Family Tradition]

Ohhhhhhhhh

Public land behind Pine Flat Lake here in the Fresno area.

 

[Lurediver]

Post him up, let's see some hunting pictures!

 

[Family Tradition]

That was a long time agao, but I'll see what I can find

Ok, I had to pull out the photo album and take digi photos so sorry if the quality is not the greatest.

This is another hog I took the year before, cant find the pics of the Euro hog.

This one was about 2.5" and FAT

A pic of the cutters

Last one

Carcass hanging was over 6'

I should have had this hog mounted but being a poor college student at the time I had no $$$ for that.

Thats why I'm on my quest now to find a HUGE tusker. He's goin on the wall.

Guys, I am really looking forward to this hunt! I have looked at the old Chopper posts and is looks and sounds like a sweet hunt! I think the video of the hunt would be cool too! I have an older digital video camera that I will bring but I am going to ask my buddy to borrow his new TV quality video camera.

Coppers got a good shower in that cabin to get all that poison oak off?

 

[Lurediver]

Was that big boy from Fresno to?


SacFire you from Folsom?

 

[Family Tradition]

That on was a Coalinga hog.


How about we get Bubba to be the official camera man / off hours bartender?

 

[SacFireJT]

FT, nice hog...if I ever take a 3 plus, it is going on my wall...LD, yep, Folsom...I can see El Dorado Hills from my house when the asbestos dust is not kicked up...


GO TEAM TUSKER!!!

 

[Lurediver]

Just got a text from Chopper, looks from the pictures like HogZilla has been shot DEAD! Huge Boar, with scarry teeth!

 

[Corinthian]

I am getting SOOO jealous... Hunting season is now over for me, and will be until mid to late Jan. Last weekend I dislocated my right shoulder and got a spiral fracture in the collarbone. Doc says that I cant even LOOK at my bow or rifles. CWAP
Dang that A24 tag.. now I lose it.

 

[SacFireJT]

HogZilla?

GO TEAM TUSKER!!!

 

[Lurediver]

I guess it wasn't Hogzilla!

The Pig was over 200lbs with some huge teeth...

 

[Family Tradition]

Whew!

Well I'm gonna do a bad thing

Went to shoot with my friend and local boyer, shows me a new bow he built (its beautiful) so I shot it. GULP! Thing is SWEEEEEET and 62# @ 28" so its perfect for me.

Shoots so nice I'm setting it up to use on this hunt, old faithfull will be going along as a back up.

Hogzilla may be the first blood for my new stick!
I'll post pics of it tomorrow.

GO TUSKERS!!!!!!!

Shane (son of Franklin3)
on his first big game hunt took this boar saturday and he will be on the wall. next to the fine buck I took at Choppers last september. And the euro mount boar I got on the same trip.
Size wise
he's exactly the same size as the one I took. They were probably litter mates. Yep that's my story and unless someone disputes it 'm sticking to it.
We both limited out on quail also but mine were bigger.
