RE: 'Nother Hog Story
I have pics, but never learned how to post them![8D] If someone wants to, I'll e-mail them.
Nothing against folks who shoot pigs in fences or in front of dogs (I have friends that do both), but I like the way we did this one. Baiting is legal where we hunted, but we didn't hunt over it. The poacher was using dogs, and they literally had a dead pig in minutes.We heard the whole thing--the boat moter had barely been shut off when the dogs started barking. Within 10 minutes the pig was squeeling, then it was quiet. They had the pig with them when they were caught. Took us two days to get one, but I'll bet we had a lot more fun with it. Hunted HARD in GA last year, wading through the swamps for two days and only shot one small pig. Spot and stalk is just a rush! Won't fill upthe freezer as quick, but dang it's fun!
Our hunt only cost us gas, food, and a 3-day license, so if we hadn't come home with any meat we wouldn't have had a big loss. Part of the food was free, thanks to our host having crab pots. Fresh blue crab is fine eating after a long day! Looking forward to doing it again next year!
