As you can see in the picture, this was the tale of the day on Saturday, as we guided a group of 10 hunters down at Native Hunt on a hog and ram hunt. The photo was taken on Saturday night, after a quick trip out to the San Lucas ranch produced five more hogs.
When we wrapped up on Saturday, our hunters had taken 11 hogs and two good rams. The day almost turned in a buffalo as well, but the hunter wanted the hide, and the summer hides just aren’t as nice looking.
It’s a good thing this is work I love doing, because between sweating through the chemise, crawling on hands and knees through hog tunnels, and spending a day up to your elbows in blood and guts… I guess it’s not for everybody. But Michael has a great crew of guys working down there, and everyone pulls more than their share.
Looks good. I’ve stumbled upon some goodwill, and may be heading back up to Bryson-Hesperia again end of the week.
I would love to get a tour of Native’s property down there, it looks and sounds, from the internet conversations, like a special place.
