I was thinking the same Danny. They are a highlight to read every year.

I don't know about the Texas Sweat but there are some Piggig threads on site.

Saw that one but there were three more hunts I think the last hunt is this week. So we need stories from week 2, 3 and 4. Plus have not seen anything on the Sweat which was in Feb also.

I believe the last week of Pig Gig is next week.  Joe Lasch (Whip) is going down next week.  There was very little posted about the Sweat.

After talking to Dave Stinson I gathered the TX Sweat was a bust.

Yeah, pretty much. It's hard to tell a story about sitting around doing almost nothing for 5 straight days.

Sorry to hear about the Sweat. 6 days of nothing would be a drag.

What blew it out. as the weather that bad that you couldn't get any hunting done, and if you had six days to plan how come there aren't any practical jokes that are worthy of a good story. With the experience the bunch that go on this trip have, I would have expected some classic cabin fever jokes. Stop holding out on us.

Sorry guys! I have been up to my eyeballs and then some since getting home from the Sweat. As always the trip, the food and seeing the guys was the high lite. It was great to meet JC's son Chase a fine young man - chip off the old block for sure. Really good sharing camp with Rob and JC as it's been to long. Always great to see Sweat regulars Larry,Brent,Mel,Brent and Curtis of course.

Hunting was tough this year. I saw one monster of a boar that was smart and crafty. I watched him from a water tower for almost an hour the second night. I spent most of my week hunting him but he only left tracks one other night. I missed a few havies and a coyote. So that being said it's why it's called hunting. There was one havie killed and a whole pack of yotes.

There was sighting of hunters in helicopters on ranch border and our belief is that when Curtis is not there to watch these heli hunters were culling everything that moved. As I've hunted this place before it's the only thing that makes sense when you look for decrease in game from last year. Can't say for sure but that was concensus we came too.
