congrats on a fine Hog hunt! So tell me about the Slick used and the job it did ?

RE: $40 Hog Hunt
 

:D446 gr [total]Gt from Greywolf on Excal w/ 100 gr Slick trick. Was laying in the grass another 10-15 yds from hog. Found it had cut half of two ribs on one side, blew through a whole rib on off side and looked like I don't need to sharpen it at all. Gotta love em! Same "twin fountains" out of the pig like last time.

fantasic, you have to love the way the slick did its job!:D

RE: $40 Hog Hunt
 

thats cool...

I've never done it but I've heard alot of people say there not much "hunt" involved with it, but it would be neat to try it

I'm kind of looking forward to some promising news about hog hunting over here, but unfortunately no one around here seems to want to enlighten me with any useful information... [>:]

Woo Hoo! That is a fine chunk of pork!! Congrats, good to see you got to recoup some of the pig money spent in the past. Enjoy! :D

Well, from my other experiences w/ them, sitting in blinds or stands near feeders, they either come in or don't. They have an uncanny sense of smell and play the game well. My gal pal's son in law dog hunts them in Ok, at least when he's not in jail, lol. They go to the baying dogs much like a coon hunter. I can't get around well enough for that. The one I shot had been back in the wild for ablout 10 days or so and was already acting a little spooky, in another 2 weeks it would be completely feral again. We found bird shot from a scatter gun under the hide when we cleaned it, so someone has had a whack at it somewhere along the line. Trapping, feeding out, selling is a regular cottage industry here and is the reason it's hard to find private property to hunt them on.

Dan, Congrats on getting that hog. Enjoy the chops, etc. Corn fed should make it very tasty. :D
