They were into some kind of mineral in the soil. Couldn't figure out what is was. [quote=ribka] Some beautiful country and drove out one day to Palo Duro and Caprock Canyon to see the buffalo A.

Beautiful photos and congrats on the hunt. I have only visited that area never hunted there. But it is surprising how you have that miles and miles of (flat) Texas and then it opens up to really beautiful scenery.

Very nice. Is that an entry or exit wound on the pig?
