FHL pigs

[support420]

Might be heading up to FHL in February, anyone have any luck in area 29...
I was there in 2003 and no luck bow hunting...figured we may try again.

Hi support420,

They're pulling a 250lb pig out of training area 29 right now. =) The hunters said there were about 12 of them out there.

And Jesse is out here hunting, too! =) He was nice enough to help one of the hunters stuck out in training area 10/13. The weather here is terrible - it's been raining all night and all this morning with no signs of it letting up anytime soon. But we still have a lot of people out here hunting.


Rannie

P.S.
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ROCHELLE & I at the FHL Game Check Station!

 

[Rannie]

Oops! The hunters just came back with that pig from TA-29 and it's not 250lbs... it's 271lbs

 

[Lurediver]

Rannie can you post pics?

 

[Rannie]

Sure Lurediver... here you go...

Here is the 271lb pig out of TA-29:

This one was taken a few days ago by an Elk Hunter but Rochelle & I weren't told which area it was taken out of. I'll find out tomorrow. =)

Wow Rannie! That's a big pig. That had to be a really tough drag out of 29 to.

I guess i'll post a pic to of Tom's Pig he got during the Elk hunt. It came out of area 15 and dressed out at 171. And my dad was driving him for the elk hunt to. lol He's like some kind of pig magnet. 2 at Vandenburg and then drives our friend to this one. The elk was a 6x6. Can't have much of a better morning then that. Pig first thing and then an elk later on. He was a happy guy.

Just got back (12/31 to 1/02) Saw a lot of fresh sign in 10/13 and also 29, a good size one was taken from 29 on 1/01.

 

[support420]

Thanks for the info Rannie...im salivating now and my friends are pretty anxious.
I guess i'll start filling out the forms to get out to FHL...see ya there.

The picture of the second pig I posted was from TA-15 =) A total of 7 pigs were harvested. They were taken from TA's 15, 24, 10/13, and 29. The weather was so bad and it rained the entire time. We probably had a total of 8 hunters stuck out in training areas.

The towing company made a fortune!

CaliJeepHuntr -
That's a great pic of your dad & Tom! =) They look so happy! I'm glad he got his Elk & a pig! Your dad must be good luck! It was good to see all you guys back at the campgrounds just like in deer season.

larrysogla -
Happy New Year to you too! Hope to see you back soon!

Support420 -
You're very welcome =) Glad you're coming back to FHL! Looking forward to meeting you in Feb!


HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

Likewise,,
Can you tell those pigs to stick around for us???

,,I ll make sure we take some extra beverages for you....What do you drink ?...

 

[Rannie]

Don't worry, we'll make sure the pigs are still there! We'll tie them down if we have to... lol... No need to bring drinks... it's on the house!

I may be mistaken on this one, but "support420" might not be the smartest handle to have on this website in the context of this thread about hunting on a Federal military installation, policed by MP's who require very little probable cause to initiate a vehicle search, especially since there's a picture of what I presume is support420's 4x4 hunting rig in his/her avatar.

 

[support420]

negative...Dont believe anything you hear and only half of what you see...

Former law enforcement....no worries my friend.

Lets worry about hunting....Im getting FHL fever..

 

[support420]

thanks for looking out though

 

[support420]

When last out at FHL (TA29), a friend went as far back to see some water, I would assume this is Lake San Antonio? Is there a gate or barbed wire fence stating boundaries..If so , anyone know what the approx distance is from the lake ?

No problem. Since you're former law enforcement I'm sure you've seen it all.

Good luck getting those pigs!

 

[support420]

wow...just found maps of FHL on the site....Thanks Jesse....

 

[pigdream]

So was it SAn Antonio? I have seen alot of pigs while fishing that lake.
