Off topic a bit
 

Its been slow around my house other than work lately, no hunting or shooting. The wife and I our going down to south Arkansas later this month to visit with our daughter. From there were going on down to Shreveport and Bossier city LA to the boardwalk and Bass Pro so I can get me a Nikon Omega for my new Triumph ML. When she is all sighted in and ready I'm gonna take her up to the cabin and try to break her in on a hog. Here is a pic of one I shot last fall with my bow.

Now that is a nice size hog and a heck of a bow kill . Were in the state did you get it?

Sharp County, up near Sitka

That's a very nice hog.

Yea, lots of bacon and chops! :D

I so wish we had hogs around here....

what a brute. What do you guess that hog weighed?

I wish we had hogs here. I bet that's good eating.

that is some nice pork on the hoof and a hellava bow kill, what broadhead did you use?

I used to think that - until we got them. Now we're doing everything we can to eliminate them. They do make a fine meal though.

gregrn43 - that is one heck of a nice looking hog -HUGE!!!


Semi - I made the mistake of suggesting one time at the gun club 'wouldn't it be nice to have wild hogs and be able hunt them' HUGE MISTAKE:bash: Most of the folks at the club are wheat/barely/lentil/cattle farmers - they just about come un-glued.

Bet they would send you a batch of our wolves though...

Yeah, I see they got out of hand like the wolves did. What sort of hunting season do they give you?

In Louisiana you can hunt them year round, and day or night on private land.

Not public land?

The only game we can hunt year around are coyotes, and you sure aren't going to eat one of those. Yuk!

On wildlife management areas you can only hunt hogs when some other hunting season is in effect and using whatever weapon allowed for that season.

Dave she weighed 167 dressed
Gman I shoot regular Muzzy broadheads and a complete pass thru on her
Oh by the way they are very good eating, I had rather eat one of these than a tame hog. Cant wait to break in my new TC on one.

Yea...Our deer herd has enough problems dealing with predators without having to compete with Hogs for food. I would like to shoot one someday though with a flintlock.
