6 More Boars

Well, my reductionist theory sprang a leak. Ben and I took out 6 more boars ranging in size from 160-230 lbs with an average of just under 192 lbs. Winds were up and we got busted by the only sounder. The Sahara sand storm made thermal look like crap. I fell in a 2 ft deep ravine on our stalk going after the first hog. That produced a limp. Then I fell in an 18" deep hole when we went to collect the second hog. The limp got worse. Both falls were in a hay field where the traps were hidden by a tall growth of hay.

Twice we spotted hogs while we were doing photographs on hogs just killed. The last hog we went after was a loner, but by the time we got to him, he had a buddy. It was a great pattern of 1 leads to 2. Sort of hated to call it quits.

Psst... (Brian)... yer NOT supposed to be doing back-flips, forward-flips, etc. while carrying all that hunting gear! We may have to get you two some snow shoes to keep you guys from tearing up your ankles in them holes. Don't end up on the injured reserve now. Hope that wrist heals up quickly. Dr. 'Dog's Rx... extra cookies.

Nice pile of hogs there.

Y'all make it look so easy even though you sustained obvious bodily injury. I seem to be running across more boars than sounders too - like 3 to 1.

With age and an accumulation of injuries over my life, I am pretty much in pain somewhere when I got hunt. It only becomes a problem when it physically stops me. The wrist thing is definitely hampering moving hogs, necropsies and such, but as long as I can get my rifle up on the shooting sticks, I can still shoot hogs. :D
