You don’t shoot porcupines, you pick them up and make a pet out of them…

No pets for me.


Catching, sedating, and pulling quills from a 150 pound guard dog is fun enough!

Heres another from the week just past...big, ugly.

Yeah, my dogs seem to think so !

ingwe


YEH !! That one is Damn sure UGLY Rio7

Jim , I'm not a fan of Porky's, I have pulled Quills out of my dogs, my horses, and a couple of cows, not fun to deal with. Rio7

Daily double with the 17CCM

Shrapnel, Good Shooting. Rio7

I caught-killed 23 last weekend. I enjoy catching the bastards. We hardly ever get one over 200 lbs. male in 5 th pic weighed 190

Hanco, 190# is a good sized pig, the biggest I have killed was 347# and 326# and they were eating cattle cubes from under our bulk tanks, guy's were getting sloppy filling our feed wagons. Rio7

Not much for them to eat in the hill country. I killed some I couldn’t drag an inch in the piney woods. I can drag a 200 pounder a little ways. They can get real big if they have good eats! This was killed on Weirgate lease in Newton county




This one in Madison county, weighed 400

Serious ? When they get that big do you eat them or just bury/dispose of them.

Feather weight, If it's not hot i usually take out the back straps, and the throw them in our gut pit.i carry zip locks in my jeep just for back straps. Rio7

Hanco I killed a big pig about like those about 20 years ago, but didn't have scales i have now. it took 5 of us to load him in my pickup. and we just about didn't get it done. wish i could have weighed him. Rio7

I wish they could have weighed that gray pig. The man in that pic is 6’4” tall. It’s hard to judge pig weight. I would have bet a hundred dollar bill the 190 lb pig would have weighed 210 or more. The biggest we have weighed in Burnet was a sow that weighed 210


They killed one in Livingston county a 650 four wheeler could hardly drag. We had no scales

Snow goph!!!!

Stuck

Kinda' like this pix of Walterhog on AR in the Africa Hunting Forum........



IMHO,

One of my pet peeve's is to see a guy standing 2' to 4' behind a critter. It can weigh 100 lbs and look like 300 lbs.

Hogs and bears are two critters that appear to be much heavier than they actually are, and of course when no scale was is available, the weight is "estimated".


Ask me how I know





250 lbs., weighed





275 lbs, weighed.






+/- 275 lbs., weighed



The guy in the pix is 6' tall. At a weighed 315 lbs. this is the heaviest hog I've weighed in 24 years of hunting the Texas Hill Country.


End of rant!

ya!

GWB

Agree Geedub...that guy with the buffalo sure has big fingers!

( as if you need to 'longarm' a freaking buffalo...)
