While I was out helping out with our hunters at Native Hunt this weekend, some Hog Blog friends were out getting it done on their own.

First of all, my friend David was back up at the Golden Ram’s Hedgepeth Ranch last week, and managed to make the past tense out of a sow.

In his own words…

I went back up to the Hedgepeth on Thurs after missing a MONSTER on Tues.  Was walkin through the same area and heard them russlin around in the leaves below me.  I circled down below them and started walking up the hill.  I could see some small ones under an Oak tree and then a good size sow walked out and presented a good shot.  As Im raising the rifle I felt a slight breeze on the back of my neck.  She started to sniff the air, and right when I had her in my scope she looked at me.  I let the 30-06 rip and she never took another step.

 

Meanwhile, away down south in Dixie (Mississippi), my friend Rex and the Christmas Place Gang were having a regular hogathon.  While they should have been shooting deer, they fell into my bad habits and everyone shot hogs instead… and some pretty danged nice ones too!  Check out the story at Rex’s Deer Camp blog.

For my own part, our hunters at Native Hunt did pretty well.  By the end of the weekend, we had eight hogs down for seven guys (if I counted this right).  The rain made things a little tricky, and despite some minor adventures in the clay, mud, and fog, we were able to get in there and get it done! 

I’m heading back up to Native Hunt this coming weekend, as soon as I get back from a work trip to Spokane.  Wonder if there are any hogs up in Washington yet?
