Thanks guys,
Oregon Archer is right.. These are not just pigs to me. We really don't have any viable populations of them here and nobody can really explain why they are here...Lots of time into these suckers..Now i better get some work done at home...I'm still grinning from ear to ear....[/b]

I can explain why they're there for you.
Its simple.

Everyone from California eventually ends up in Oregon!
even the hogs!

Well done teacher and I hope you share your field experiences in the classroom it would be a shame to not do so.

Congratulations!!! Those are boootiful red hogs. My favorities are the solid black hogs, solidbrown hogs and solid red hogs. They are deeeeelicious!!!! Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing the blow by blow account and the pictures.
Now we have wild hog populations from Washinton state(remember the post of JJHack about hunting wild pigs in the Evergreen state of Washington) to Oregon to Northern California to Central California to Arizona at the Colorado river riparian area to New Mexico(remember the post of PaulC regarding hunting wild hogs in the upper elevations of New Mexico) to the great state of Texas to Louisiana to Georgia to Florida to South and North Carolina. Now my prediction is that because the youth generation are preoccupied with video games and with the aversion of a big majority of people to firearms and hunting, GUESS WHAT!!! the wild hog populations will continue to proliferate, expand, multiply and eventually will explode to where there will be wild hogs where there were NONE BEFORE!!! We don't like the destruction that these NON-NATIVE porkers do to the environment so we wll gladly put our hand to the plow so to speak and do our good citizen part in killing(errr.....harvesting to us hunters) these pesky wild porkers and we are on a roll while pulling the trigger on these pesky pigs. My prediction is that the Oregon hog population will NOT ONLY TAKE HOLD BUT WILL EXPAND!!!! 'Nuff said.

Speck,
I wouldn't even consider living somewhere else...I can hunt several different species within 10 minutes of my house..Believe me, i take full advantage of that option....

 

[dw33]

Very nice.

 

[Flatbroke]

Great job. Now if we could only get the elk to migrate over here. How long did it take you to pack them out? If it took 45 min to hike in must have seemed like forever packing to pigs out.

 

[oregoncritters]

Kinda worked out nice..One of my past students works on that place.. I made a phone call and he brought in a quad and hauled them out for me.. That was one of the luckier events that has happened for me in a while. It would have been a long haul if not....

 

[fishbites]

Way to go! I live in NC and go to TX, AL, SC, GA and any other place that has pigs if I can. I can shoot all the deer I want here but I find hunting and shooting pigs gets my blood flowing more than our deer.
Just like to be able to hunt something all YEAR!

 

[oregoncritters]

Surely something to be said for being able to hunt all year...Now the yotes are in trouble...

Nice job on the porkers. What kind of gun/scope/ caliber is that?

 

[wyemjohnson]

Those are beaut's! Congrats!

 

[XDHUNTER]

Two in one outing WOW!!!!

CONGRAT'S

 

[larrysogla]

Yes, what caliber and rifle was hammering those 2 very nice red hogs??? Certainly was powerful and effective whatever it was. 'Nuff said.

 

[Gomer76825]

congrats on the piggies and the hunt

 

[Zbearclaw]

Awesome, I am wearing myself out trying to find some public hogs here in Kali, you finding them, and killing two at once in OR is damn near impossible, awesome, dude your a killer.

Are these the first Oregon JHO hogs?

 

[Hogfest]

Mighty nice looking porkers. Those are actually the first REDS I've ever seen. Be nice to see some of those colors around here. Although I don't mind our many other variations.

 

[DEERSLAM]

Congrats on the double

Love them red hogs...can't remember if I've ever seen that color phase.

 

[Nic Barca]

Wow, right on. Their almost red too! I think we're all grinning ear to ear with ya. Nothing like getting something new, especially after chasing them for a while. ...so let me get this strait; now there are pigs in Oregon?

 

[SacFireJT]

Killer! Don't shoot em all up there..let the piggies get established! Congrats!

I had this gun built for spring bear hunting at long distances...It's a .300RUM with a jewell 10oz trigger on some kinda fancy bipod....The scope is an incredible piece of technology though. A guy in town here invented this technology and runs it through leopold and shmit and bender scopes..The that advanced reticle technology...So after running all my ballistics , speed, ballistic coefficient, blah blah..I printed this little card for the side of my gun.. I haven't shot it over 800 yds, but milk jugs explode at that distance.. It uses MOA (minutes of angle references).. Pretty cool..If i were a serious gun hunter, i would use nothing else...

Personally though, I like the black and white ones with the creamy filling.
