'Nother Hog Story
Must be that time of year?
Got back Sunday night from a quick trip to SC. I'm pressed for time, so I'll keep it short.
Friday afternoon, lots of sign but no hogs. Sat. am, at our guide's honey hole, he caught six tresspassers running dogs and with one dead hog (he isn't a paid guide, didn't charge us for the hunt, but he is a game warden). Left that place and went to another. Within 1/4 of a mile, saw dirt flying up on the dike (hunting on an old rice plantation). There were three of us hunting, and we had elected my buddy Mike to get the first stalk. Long story short, he got a nice boar--no scale, but we guessed him to be a solid #200-#225. A real war horse, scarred from one end to the other, big head, huge tusks. Not the biggest that had come from the area, but the second biggest our guide had seen there in several years of hunting. Wound up being the only one we saw, but it was obvious the place holds gobs of hogs. We plan to try again next year, hopefully being able to hunt longer and find more piggies.
Had a great time, our host was the best. Can't wait to do it again!
