Got another one.....

[BirdDawg]

A friend of mine came from down south yesterday and wanted to shoot a hog......I told him
I would meet him up the canyon and I went and picked up another buddy (Mike) and off we
went....we pulled up and looked around and didn't see any sign of a hog or anything else for
that matter...we dropped Joel off and Mike and me went around and were going to meet him
at the bridge on the other side of the property....we were talking and laughing
(basically making fun of Joel about him more than likely shooting a cow) when we heard a
shot...we drove back around looking for him and spotted him crossing the field....when
he reached the jeep we asked if he got one and he said he shot a 100-150 pound "tusker"...
we wnt back to town and dropped Mike off,grabbed the truck and quad and headed back to
get the hog....by the time we got back it was dark....going by Joels discription of where
the hog was and seeings where we forgot a flashlight it took a while to find it....
I pulled up and put the quads headlights on the hog......it wasn't no 150 pounder.....it was
closer to a 250 - 300 pound boar with 4" tusks and only one ear....well we took a few pics
and proceeded to dress it out...we got back to the truck and were heading back when a bunch
of hogs ran across in front of us heading down into the creek.....I'm a little stumped
here....I've never seen hogs that flat don't care if your shooting or skinning out one
of their buddies.....all these guys want is to get into the creek and root around.....
must be something mighty tastey there.....I should get the pics developed today and
hopefully they will turn out.....paper throw aways arent the best camera's to take night
pics with.

I had them walk practically right up to me in Tejon while I was skinning my sow this Spring. You'd think with their intelligence and ability to smell, they'd never come close, but they sure did.

I think you're right, though... they've definitely found something they like down there. Have you been getting any of this rain? I'm wondering if a little groundwater will disperse them.

Oh well, enjoy it while you got it!

 

[BirdDawg]

We've gotten a little rain but very little....the creek has water in it but not much....I figure as soon as we get a big enough rain to get the creek running good the hogs will move on.....but then I didn't think they would stay this long....so I'm done trying to figure them out....my boss just mentioned that if we shoot a small hog 100 pounder or so that we might have a deep pit BBQ.....so I'm thinking on going up and looking for one.....LOL...but now that I want to shoot one they'll dissapear.....oh well we'll see.....I have to talk to the wife first but my buddy who was suppose to come up this weekend backed out so the weekends free.....I might go up and work on the place and maybe let one or two guys come up and try for a hog.....but I have to see what the bosses plan is first.....don't want to get her mad.....you think the hulk is bad when he gets mad, you should see the wife......

Sounds like you're tempting fate, here, man. Does she know you're comparing her to the Hulk? Hmmm... fodder for blackmail?

 

[BirdDawg]

Huh?!? Wha?!? Huh?!? .....a mistake!!!! .....a mispronunciation.....an error in spelling.....um....um....yeah....YEAH!!! thats it....an error in spelling.....huh? who would have thought goddess started with a "G" and not an "H".

 

[BirdDawg]

Well thanx to these paper camera's only one pic turned out....and I had to lighten this one just to see it.....bummer.....but 1 outta 8 ain't bad....LOL.....you can't really tell the size and it's hard but if you look you can see the tusks...to bad....was a nice hog:

 

[pigdream]

Very nice hog congrats to your friend!

 

[Speckmisser]

Looks good enough to me, BirdDawg. And nothing like that calf you shot.

But with big hogs like that, how are you gonna fix your boss up with BBQ fixins? Looks like you'll have to go back and try again.

 

[fpscabs]

Really nice. I want one of those.

 

[manfreddy]

Out-freakin-standing!

Just for comparison, here are 3 pics of a 300 pound hog with 3 1/2 inch lowers.

All of the pictures are of really nice, healthy hogs.

BirdDawg - Keep that wife happy!! At all costs.

 

[Hogfever]

Nice Piggie

I think you're secretly planning these hunts when I've got other commitments

but if you ever want another hog, you better keep the little lady happy or you'll never see another one

 

[Spoony]

Any of these hogs shot on public property?

 

[wavesfr]

Look at that old ugly one eared thing. At least Mine had a pretty white stripe & painted toe nails? Well hooves lol.

<---------- Birdawg after skinning so many hogs lol

 

[BirdDawg]

Nice hog bigtusker......Joels hog's tusk were pretty close to yours....except it only had tusks on one side and only had one ear....LOL....must've tangled with some sows hubby.....this was the only pic that came out.....it's head is lying on the cement....we couldn't get it any higher to skin out.....hopefully the pics in the other camera will come out.

 

[Slugblaster]
