Hey all,
I love the hunt threads that you all post here. It gives me a chance to hunt vicariously through you. Whether they be elk, moose, sheep, deer, bear or whatever, I love 'em all, but I am especially fond of the HOG HUNT threads.
I just finished checking out the Tejon ranch thread and was amazed at the location and the GIANT PIG taken. AMAZING!
That started me thinking about something, where would you go if you were on a mission to take BIG, MONSTER sized and MEAN AS HECK HOGS?
I know there are several states that have HOGS, but is there one that has BIGGER and NASTIER hogs than the others? I can attest that there are BIG HOGS here in south western Florida. Not that I have had a chance to hunt them, I wish I did. My neighbor puts out feed for hogs and birds and every evening he has a black hog that comes for the dinner bell. He used to have a BIG RED one too, but it was hit by a car.
I have also seen pics of a hunt that took place in TURKEY (I think) and they had a dead hog that looked to be the size of a VW BUS. It was just HUGE and GNARLY. I know camera angles can fool you, but this was a big hog for sure. Now I can't go to Turkey to hunt, naturally, I was just throwing that in.
So if it were one of your goals to bring in a true GIANT HOG, where would you go? For me, it would also ADD bonus points if he were all scarred up, had big ole cutters, and looked like some of those hogs that were in the 2nd Silence of the Lambs movie.
Where does your quest begin?
Thanks for your time.
