Hello ssor, and davetclown,<br>What a great time I had, if you ever find yourself out this way, I'd be happy to lead the way to the spot. <br><br>I had been running daily for the 5 weeks before I went, and thought i would be ready to hump the hills (NOT). Although I knew my "sit at the computer all day" lifestyle would have me a little out of shape for this hunt I had no idea just how bad!<br><br>There was at least 1 but probably 2 pigs bigger then this one in the bunch, but after they broke from thier cover twice before and sent me humping the hills, I decieded my .300 win mag would best serve me by taking not the biggest one but the next 100+ pounder that showed its head! Its funny how with each hill you have to climb you become less choosey about what will satisfy your expectations. <br><br>Seriosly though, I couldn't be happier, I have had my share of shut outs on hunts and was very happy to bring home the bacon (haha), my son and daughter lit up when I pulled up the first picture, a little young still to jion me they look forward to thier days in the field. <br><br>I was going to mount the head if I took a male with tusks but because this was a female without, I took a head shot to aviod potentially losing one of the shoulders and some tasty chops. <br><br>I have a couple more hunts planned for spring and can't wait!!<br><br>By the way we have recently put together a co-branding campaign with totalhunter.com, for all you hunters be sure to register for thier hunt give-aways, they have some incredible hunts thier giving-away, including some once in a lifetime type hunts, its a great site! <A HREF="http://www.totalhunter.com" target="_new">http://www.totalhunter.com</A><br><br>[laugh] How about a good laugh?<br><A HREF="http://www.bigfishtackle.com/comics.htm " target="_new">http://www.bigfishtackle.com/comics.htm </A> <br><br>Mike H
