I know anyone can be at the wrong place. Did everyone get at least one? How many were killed by the one who killed the most? What was the largest? smallest? What was the average size? Captdavid 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.

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

Heaviest hog winner with his new knife donated by Dan D. Was a nice gift for Pat. Don't cut your leg with that Pat.

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?
"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.
If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!

Just got home, left my suitcase in my room. Can you believe that. Guess I get to make the trip again. Damn.Had my meds. all I had in the bag. Stupid on my part.
Discovered at unloading of Jeep. I shot my three in 3 sits. 3 sits I slept while others were out.
Pics. downloading to the bucket as we speak.
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.

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.

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.

What it cost to forget.
