Mike I can post a pic, it was taken in the meat locker so it's not a nice field photo. It did have some really nice tusk. As for the arrow head necklace, I'll get that up as well.  I started making them a few years ago.

Jeff yep Denton Hill was the ticket. I need a copy of that picture for my scrap book. As for BBQ'n up them pigs, I am having a processor there in Albany hook me up good. Getting some summer sausage, breakfast sausage, ribs, chops, steaks, loin, links a couple of cured and smoked hams. will probably break the bank, but I'll at least have some meat in the freezer.

Curt you got that right. Kwyk Styk magic do doubt. I can't thank you enough for putting me in touch with Jack. I hope to meet him some day soon.

Ok working on Day 5...

Rob, excellent pictorial and story.  I'll be there on hunt #5 and hope to have as a good a time as you seemed to have.  Plus, I have a score to settle on a big boar from last years PigGig!!!  

Great necklace!  Do you sell those?  I would love to have one..  Steve (Stafford VA)

I saw a big 'ol boar last time I was out at the Stone House during the summer.

Good pig!

[Shinken]

That looks to be a nice pair o' cutters on that Mitten boar!

It would make a dandy skull mount!

Shoot straight, Shinken

OK day 5 finally....

After a wild night eating all the shrimp we could stuff in our guts and a few cold drinks to wash them down, sleep came quick but not as quick as the morning wake up call. The last day of the hunt for some reason always has it's issues. The only thing I don't hate about the last day of a hunt is getting to look forward to the next hunt.  

Any way we were up and out the door in short order headed for the hunting area.  We followed routine making our way around to all the bait sites all the while looking for hogs in the bush in hopes of getting in an early morning stalk. Again the weather was not helping. Cloudy, even spitting some rain on occasion as well as stiff winds. Just not what one would expect or want while pig hunting.

The morning was pretty uneventful to say the least and we decided to make one last run to town. Not wanting to buy more groceries since we would be pulling out of camp in the morning we decided to check out this little Mexican restaurant. Yummy!

After filling out bellies we made a quick pit stop at camp to empty our tanks (Mexican food will do that to you)and gather out gear for the afternoon hunt. Back out in our area we were all at a loss as to which locations to hunt. The wind has switched again preventing several from being hunted. Unless your wearing that stuff that allows you to forget the wind and just hunt. Yeah right!
