Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2017 Campfire Hog Hunt

Ya and you missed one fine meal Sat. night

We were limited to a max of 4. Largest 190 on a scale. Had lots of big ones shot by the crew. Smallest you are going to have to guess from the pic. Average I say 10 lbs to 150 lbs cause there were lots.
Sounder would come in with 15 to 20 hogs, big to many little ones.

Real average guess was 100 lbs. I guess.

I'm not sure, but the 58 is good plus one more the guide ran over in his truck. 58 shot, one hit by truck and pitched in back of truck.

Plus 2 that never came out of the truck.
That's 60.

Don't cut your leg with that Pat.

WOW. You guys had one heck of a hunt! Congrats!

You're hunting the General area I hunt a lot. Although you had rain, it's pretty dry and pigs don't grow as large as some of the wetter or more cultivated climes. Any hog that approaches 200lbs if not huge, is pretty darn big. You should have never weighed it. It would have been close to 300lbs! Unless one chooses to shoot the smaller ones 100-150 pounders are a good average. I hope everyone got one or at least a shot. I'm sure most of your shots were over feeders around 100yds or so?

So I just talked to owner of ranch, Kevin has the bag. Will drive out in the morning and afternoon, get my bag then drive until I can't drive anymore and make it home or get a motel.

#9 imbibed too much "vitamin A" the night b4.



however, did manage to perforate 'three little pigs'











ya!


GWB

You can see the "little pig" winner in Wtxj's Pic. He is laying on one of the bigger ones. Think he was about a week old. That is hard to do to take one this size out of a big group of the little rascals without killing or maiming a half dozen.
First timer and I had a great time.

Lee (El Numero Uno) and I are going back in May for the first annual Ruger No 1 singleshot Axis deer hunt. Probably a pig or two will be slain also.
Bob

Gordon, that sucks. I'm sorry you have to go back. This morning I found hats belonging to two of the Bob's in the dining hall. I left RGK's with Ed and I've got ColoradoBob's. I'll mail it to him if he agrees to shoot clays one handed next year.

Oh really! Hmmm....

If I remember Coloradobobs hats was a Cleveland Indians hat. Go ahead and burn it or throw it away.

Bob does love shot gunning. Just think he's still on the road.
Ya it sucks to drive back this soon, I was just careless.
What it cost to forget.

I just got home and now I have take take the Deer bucket off the tractor and put the snow blade on.

Roof, the resident stunt shooter. He and that pistol were #8!

You guys get a little cool out that way?

70 something this morning down south, went north dropped to 48. That cool enough.
