Hey everyone,
I'm tickled about this new board!
After the usual Deer/Elk/Pheasant hunts in '06, we signed up for a PIG hunt!
My brother, my work buddy and I went up to Corrine in November and hunted pigs. They are 1/2 Russian Bore and 1/2 Ferral Pig. Mine came in at about 450 lbs.! Its on Private property and these are not "pen raised" pigs. They are free roaming pigs on thousands of acres of property and it took us all afternoon to find and get 3 of them. They will charge you if they get cornered and I have to admit that walking out next to the swamp in the tall grass I was more than a little bid on edge. You can go into the really thick stuff and use a bow and arrow, but we chose to use our rifles. I used my .338 Win Mag, although I think any large caliber would do. Not to be visual, but those pigs really squealed when hit!
We had them processed up in Brigham City and we ended up with standard pig cuts of meat: Cured Bacons and Hams, Pork Chops, Roasts, etc. etc. It tastes pretty good too!
The guy next to me in one of the pics was our guide that day. The two hunters holding rifles in the 3rd pic is my brother Derrin and our work buddy Brian.

My name N.E.T.O. applies to my hunting life also. I generally kill every vacation day I earn either hunting or fishing!
