Well we got there early sat. Parked looked over seen 2 pigs run out from under a tree into thck stuff. So We loaded up & went down. Seen fresh sign everywhere. I worked to a tree seen movement. Crouched down looking underneath. Seen a pile of piglets nursing a sow @ about 20 feet away never moved. So I moved on down creekbed. Then I hear a crack go back up find My dad. He seen 4 pigs come out of trees missed though. Took a break for awhile. Then I went back down worked up creek again. Got to end turned & came back the other side. I was working back when I hear some noise. Directly across from Me through the tuleys. I stop to listen, I hear what sounds like crunching/rooting something. Only way to get through is little pig tunnel. So I get down go through sticking gun barrel through just in case. Makeing sure it was'nt My dad crunching candy bar lol & mistake Me for a pig. stood up & 5 pigs bolt 1 big & 4 about 15-20 pounds. So DANG missed more. So kept going back the way I came. Get about midway back. Ah hah I see 4 pigs coming up the bed abut 60 yards away. I load take aim on the front pig 50 yards BAM. They scatter I hear squeeling. The pig starts running back & forth. I see it has no bottom jaw whatsoever. So I try to shoot it again miss. Then again in the neck & he goes down. He's not huge byt I finally got one. So thats My story

thanks ridgeback,lawdogg. Don't plan on going to the pig-o-rama. Christmas,bills,etc you know the story. I've always thought it sounded fun. As much money as I've spent chasing hogs over the years (public land) I could have went on several p.o.r's. I've still had fun though & thats the best part of it. Memory's,experience,story's,hanging out. I thought man just get one then I won't be so driven, But just like all hunting it never stops lol. So best of luck to you & remember the digital camera. We all like to read the storys & see the pics. take care wavesfr
Hey bigdog? I've been around here & there. Ya finally connected after waisting bullets. No fhl I got it off birddawgs place. He a few milling around there for awhile. Ya you're right pretty tasty.

So try that next I guess. So how ya been hows you're travels been? take care wavesfr
I got to admit wavesfr made a heck of a shot.....right in the head.....didn't waste any meat.....funny thing is he was shooting at the shoulder of the hog that was 10 feet behind the one he hit.....whahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....hey wavesfr.....the worthless brother-in-law shot a huge whitetail this morning....they told me it was 22" wide and 17" tall 14 pointer......and this year I could've been back there opening day....go figure....when it rains it pours.
