Boy do they. That lichen makes for some serious gas bloating within minutes after they perish. The guides in our camp didn't even gut.Used a knife to clear the cuts and quartered and took out the the strap and fish using an axe and a bit more knife for the little details.

On the other hand the Axis is an absolute joy. The deer were full of ticks but I didn't find a single tick on the Axis, thicker more rubbery hide methinks from being eating by tigers since Moses had a paper route.
Thinking Blackbuck won't be bad either.

I just got an email from the ranch Mark Knight. They will skin and quarter the hog for $30. They don't process them but there is a processor 20 minutes away. It would be questionable of they could get it done in time for departure. That bring said I will be bringing 2 large coolers with the intent of bringing quarters home to process.

Please contact the outfitter, Mark Night, with questions rather than calling the ranch itself.

As a note, I received a call from the outfitter, Mark Knight, last night and he said that it would be possible for the hunt to be extended for an additional day if we wanted for $150 more, which would include another hog, meals, lodging etc. This would mean arriving Thursday instead of Friday. I assume this would apply to a "partial" party of hunters as well if enough people are interested. You guys toss that around.
