One less Tejon pig celebrating Cinco de Mayo

[greyghost10]

Arrived at Tejon with my sons and father-in-law Friday night at about 5:30. Slight wind but nice and overcast. Left his motorhome at the campground and then drove some roads looking for a nice place to hog hunt in the morning. At about 7:00 pm we were headed back to camp for dinner. Before we reached camp, I stopped the car to glass one more time. Noticed some small dots on a far hillside. Set my rifle on the ground and cranked up the power on my scope(6.5 x 20 power). Yes!!! Quite a few hogs working their way down the hill. Drove my car on a dirt road towards the hogs. Parked, and walked a few hundred yards to the top of a canyon. I heard numerous pigs in the canyon and they were getting closer. I let a few walk 40 yards or so right past me. Saw a nice sized spotted one staring right at me. I raised my rifle and fired. One less pig roaming around. Seemed quite heavy but was probably closer to 180 lbs or so. My fahter-in-law said it was closer to 200 lbs. Who cares? It was my first one and I was quite happy. And I am sure it is going to be delicious. Turns out my father-in-law didn't bring my BIG cooler but that was a brother-in-laws' fault. So we had to leave first thing this morning in order to keep that pig cool. So my Tejon weekend trip was cut quite short but it was very productive. And I am going to learn how to post the picture as soon as I can figure out how to do it. I took pictures with a digital camera but I seriously do not speak computer. Saw quite a few deer even a couple of bucks and a handful of turkeys. I love this place!!!!

Way to go, Greyghost! Perseverance pays, no?

Glad to hear you tagged out, and with a good-sized pig to boot!

Okay, so I downloaded (Actually my son did) a couple of pictures onto my computer of the pig. I e-mailed them to myself to see if I could open up the picture. It worked. But when I read the directions for posting a picture on this forum, the directions might as well have been in Russian or Japanese or Venusian because I could not comprehend it, yes I know I am useless when it comes to computers. But I think I can e-mail the picture to someone.

Congrats on the pig Ghost.....nice story. Too bad the trip was cut short.

Hey, are you buddies with Skarin?? I was working with him yesterday and he said a buddy of his was up hunting Tejon this weekend.....

Way to go, congrats on the nice hog. Switch and I will be taking my 13 year old son to Tejon in the next few weeks to hopefully get him a hog as well.

 

[greyghost10]

Small world. Yes I am Skarin's friend. And I sent one picture to Eric he will post it this evening. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I am seriously digging hog hunting. But I still think muledeer are the best.

Congrats Greyghost!

I was driving through camp when Greyghost stopped me and I noticed then that this would be one tasty piece of pork. Its great that you got to share this expierence with you sons and father-in-law.

GOOD JOB,

As for me, I am still trying to get one with a stick and string.
