i met fhh at the parking area @ 5:00 a.m. and we hit the woods, he brought his bulldog reb, we walked and walked and nothing , but he saw where i cleared , so i was happy, lol....it was still dark... we went and crossed the powerline at fhh's suggestion and it wasn't 5 minutes later, fhh said he heard a grunt, i thought i heard it as well, then we really heard it and the a wooof, so we headed in after it, Ol Reb held it and we made it to him through some thick ass palmettos...He fell about 5 feet from it, i was suppose to grab it and he was suppose to stick it, but i couldn't reach the leg, so i ended up sticking it and he held it, it died so quick, matter of seconds......it was a big ol sow. thought it was a boar because it didn't squeal, let me tell y'all.this was one bad sow in her day, she had just a piece of her ear on one side, she had a ridge down her back 5, maybe 6 inches long, allllllll the way down, she had about 3/4 - 1'' cutters,but she was old, really old, so old that when i went to skin her out, i went to grab what should of been backstrap and all i hit was bone....she had no meat one her.....ended up tossin her in the gut pile..we probably would got a sandwich or two off of her, kinda sucked, but the ridge made up for it....she was salt and pepper on her sides and blk. on the face, she was a pretty ol thing....i ended up asking anyone if they wanted the hams and they all said it was a waste of time.....i believe she weighed 76 or 78 lbs.Reb did an awesome job for being by himself.we called ATS at 6:45 a.m. to share it with him, lol........thoguht it was saturday, lol....
she even had the wooley looking hairs under the straight ones, it was so cool.......
went huntin' yesterday morning
it's all in the eyes of the beholder, lol.......
