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

While I was chasing pork it was a schit show here in Rochester with 80 mph winds some still without power...fence in my yard destroyed and roofing shingle blown off my roof at my warehouse
Was a good time to be in Texas!
This video is right in front of the best spring time brown trout spot on Lake Ontario I'll have the double D right there in a couple weeks (I hope)

On the last eve I learned that I need to lead a running hog a skosh more with my 45 Colt M94 than I do with my 270. It was a great trip with a fatazz sow being thumped via Montana. No pictures though.

Ed the second day I learned you need to lead a running Blackbuck more than a skosh

Ok I'm back. 800 miles in 13 1/2 hours.

Had a good short chat with Kevin.

Ran into a Wildlife Biologist at the gas station in Junction early this morning. Told him I was after my bag of stuff sitting at the lodge after hunting hogs. Gave him a few of my cigars as he chews on them. I said this is your lucky day.
He looked at me and said maybe this is your lucky day. He gave me his card and said he let's his guides run hog hunts during the off deer season. I said great. His ranch is in Cotulla, which is east of where we were. I said you ever hear of Perry Thompson, he said no but did know some thompsons. I said they have 20,000 acres. He said the only Thompson I know is a real big old boy, I said that's him, He said it's Harry T---. I said OH. He said forget hunting my place we are friends and his place is a great place.
Thought that was interesting.

800 boring long miles is over.

I'm glad you made it back safe and sound. That's quite the marathon day.

Sure was for this old guy.

Sounds no fun at all! I'd need a double dose of blood pressure meds if I had a day like that! Glad you made it back home okay!

Save that Card. It maybe good for the year that some can't make the regular hunt.

Funny Pat

All the blood presure pills I had were in that bag.
Reason I did what I did.

I remember this discussion.

Nice meeting your son glad he had a good time.

I met a Concho County Deputy he wrote me a $160.00 ticket for doing 84 in a 75. Luckily my speedometer is off cause I thought I was doing 90. The funny part was I was just telling EdM right before I left that I am lucky that I never get tickets as I am bad to speed. 4 hours later WHAM ticket. Its been 9 years since my last one so I guess I was overdue.

How?

You said it! After getting one on the last day last year, I tagged out the first day! Two in the morning and one at night.
The first two out of the Marlin with my own hand cast 360 grain hollow points. One ran 40 yards but he left a blood trail even I could follow.


I just got home this afternoon after a three day, 1,746 mile adventure. I am still unpacking and I also will post photos and tell stories soon.

Carl - Danke. Your luck shined on me.

I believe it was just after we learned about all the trials and tribulations in the life of Junebug in Eastern Kentucky. Was quite a bit of whiskey drank that night at that table.

Dana-
It would be fun to see you at a hog hunt again. Some of us haven't seen you since the hunt in 2010 at 700 Springs ranch near Junction. The nighttime hog hunt there with dogs was unforgettable. I was lucky to ride with both you and your wife on the pickup carrying the catch dogs, and I'm still astonished by the ease with which rockchucker stuck the knife through the boar's ribs and heart.

i am a legend

Don't you remember trying to get me to stop reading the names of all the Pennsylvanians who died at the Alamo?

Lotsa' "Vitamin A" being consumed that evening.

ya!


GWB

I already knew them. I really wish you had been able to go to the Alamo. It's quite a sobering experience.
