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.

Bucket list hunt right there! You shot some big pigs! Let me know if you need a third wheel next time.

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

BH63 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...

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.
