URUGUAY HOG HUNT, JULY 16-22
It’s winter here in the Southern Hemisphere (I live in Brazil), so I went hunting in neighboring Uruguay. The lodge, Rincon de los Matreros, works much like a Texas exotics ranch: Guests pay a daily rate for room & meals, plus a fee for each animal harvested. The 5,000-acre ranch is overrun with hogs!
We had good hunting weather, with overcast skies and temps in the 40’s. I borrowed a CZ .243 from the lodge’s gun cabinet and mounted my BE-Adaptive trigger release on it. I have ALS, which has put me in a wheelchair and rendered my arms too weak to hold a rifle. My guide Laurindo aimed the rifle and told me when to squeeze the trigger.
Our teamwork approach bagged 4 hogs in 3 days—two head shots, two lung shots. Three hogs dropped in their tracks, one ran just 10 yards before kicking over.
