Tehema Hog Down

[Kentuck]

Congrats Jeff. Looks like you had blood on both sides of the trail. True? Sounds like you're going to have a lot of pork in your future.

Congrats! Good looking pig. I like the colors.

Thanks. For some reason, the area has something to do with the pigs color.

In Tehema Co, there are a lot of hogs with that color Phase--black and white. On this ranch, they shoot alot of them. But, they also have all black ones too.

In Sonoma Co, I have seen more tan and black pigs than anywhere else I have hunted in the state.

Over at Chopper's, in San Benito/Monterey Co, I think there are substantially more hogs per acre. And over there, I have seen some black and white pigs, but most have been dark colors...black red and brown.

Here is a picture of a big black boar that the ranch owner's friend shot a few weeks ago...and a few more hogs that others have taken on the ranch.

Actually, I did not get a ton of blood. I proabally should have waited for a perfect boad-side shot. The arrow went thru the shoulder to the fletiching, exited the gut and I had blood on one side only.

Hog hanging![/b]

Jeff good job dude but ahh i think you hung him from the wrong end

 

[Speckmisser]

Congrats, Jeff!

I'm counting the days to my next hunt at Chopper's! Seeing a bloody arrow and some fresh pork definitely makes the countdown seem more immediate!

Hey C, Thanks! Actually neither had I. But my neighbor processes all of his pigs and on the ranch they don't leave gut piles laying around everywhere. Thus, most of the time, the hogs hang and you are able to see their true weight. He has a gut bucket that everything goes into while the hog is hanging head up, and then the inerds are ATV trailered to a spot on the ranch...

When in Rome!

 

[Kentuck]

Bears like gut piles!

 

[SacFireJT]

Unfortunatly, there are no bears on his ranch

[attachment=36351:attachment]Sacfire and Deerslam,
We shoot alot of those color phases in Shasta county(right across the river)also.We get big hogs,but not to many with big tusks.You may shoot a 300+ pound boar with fairly small teeth.I don't know why,good feed and crappy genetics I guess.

 

[SacFireJT]

Yes, I agree...when you compare the hogs over on the central coast, the hog's there look alot more "wild." Have hunted over at Chooper's, a private ranch pig hunting operation in Montery Co., and I know there are more hogs per acre over there. Also, the pigs are almost always balck, and look more wild. But as they say, in elk hunting, "an elk is an a elk." And conversly, I believe, a pig is a pig!

 

[DEERSLAM]

Duknutz your right about the small teeth. That boar I shot went 240lbs and had about 3/4" teeth. I sure wouldn't call em tusks.
SacFireJT, your're right a pig is a pig and them yorkshire lookin pigs sure eat good.
On the other hand I sure would like to shoot a pig with some big ol tusks.
