Like the Fat Boys once said... "Brrrrr... Stick'em Ha, Ha-Ha Stick'em!" 47 yards! Nice man! Tell us the story! Did you have to crawl and what not to make the distance be 47 yards?

P.S. How much did we weigh man? He looks nice sized, no?

After watching these pigs work for a couple days, they were hitting a small watering hole, so on the third day I posted up on the corner of the watering hole so that the wind was in my favor. I hiked to the area and was to the spot I wanted to sit at about 6:15. At 7:15 I heard pigs working towards the watering hole just as I anticipated. They were about 100 yards away so I cut the distance to 47 and wasn't really able to make it any closer without giving up my position because of the terrain. I had the wind so I watched a group of 6 for about 20 minutes and picked the 2nd largest of the group (for packing out purposes)and waited for a good shot opportunity.

He ended up weighing about 120-125 and was the cleanest (best smelling) pig I have taken to date. I took the photo myself by posting my phone up in my quiver so he ended up looking pretty damn big.
