Family and friends of the friend I hunted with.
Some we did not even open up.
We were in eradication mode as they had cost the farmer thousands of dollars already in crop damage.

I get satisfaction out of killing big game, but I wouldn't characterize it as "fun". JMO

Oh, it's fun all right. If it was not, I'd just go to shopping instead.

A feral hog is not what I consider "big game".

They are a neusence at best...and in large numbers...they are a ecological hazzard!

Let me express "the reasons," why those three days were SO FUN!:
I was with a good friend
I was hunting
I was hunting at night
I was using brand "unobtainable" gear
I was doing types of positional shooting and synchronized shooting that are not typical for me.
We killed a lot of critters in a short amount of time.
Spot-N-Stalk
Did other types of handgun shooting during the day which involved me shooting while walking to the point of almost trotting in every direction and off-hand.
Was able to shoot a new custom revolver at 100 yards.
Plus, a number of other reasons... smile

It's a whole lot of fun. Pigs aren't big game. They rate just lower than cockroaches. The first time I walked outside and the yard had been root plowed and my dog killed they ceased to big game. I used to be able to have a deer feeder, but cannot because it brings hogs too. They still come around when we have acorns. I kill all i can.

Anybody that says it isn't fun, doesn't know what fun is.
