The never ending story - TXS06... Into the breach

[OH at work]

I've never had the opportunity to meet Charlie in person but I would invite him join my camp anytime and feel honored in the process.  I wasn't able to join all of you in Texas this year but it looks as though lifelong friendships were formed and a whole bunch of fun was had by all

Look like you caught the carotid artery there Charlie or the aortic artery if it was lower. Either way dead critter pretty fast!

Neat hog, good cutters.

Great story Charlie...looking forward to spending time with you in May...now PLEASE tell Vance about the food.  :p

[David M. Mathis]

In that picture with Charlie looking at his hog, he thinking man how in the world I'm getting this thing out of here. Oh JC you drag and I'll hold the light. Hogs are hard to drag. Talking about dead weight try draging a hog. Mike

Nice hog Charlie.         Like others have said, I'm looking forward to hunting with ya in May!

[Glenn Newell]

Good pig Charlie, what do you do with those ranky old boars? I know they make good salami...Glenn...

[Littlefeather]

Man, I wanna come in May!!! Im getting jealous!

Glen N, are you referring to Charlie or the hog when you say "old and rank"?    

I think Charlies better half was talking about brine soaking some hams on that hog.

[RayMO]

Curtis..LOL..no not Charlie..me yes "old and rank"..

Love the story Charlie I just have to tag a long one of these years.

Keep it coming.

I've just gotten back into traditional archery and I've got a new Bob Lee Signature take-down recurve bow on order, with a tentative arrival date around April 15th. I would like to go on a javelina hurt with the BL. Although it's too late for me this year for the Texas Sweat (06), where does one sign up and learn more about TS07?

[Terry Green]

I know JC really enjoyed being in on the recovery of Charlie's hog....I heard that tale in person.  Charlie, thanks for sharing the hunt and your version of the recovery.  Nice to see the pics as well.

[Charlie Lamb]

Glenn... the hog is at the processor's as I write. We're gonna try a ham off of him... the skinner said he was young (no shield)so should provide pretty good meat. We'll just have to see about that!

Nighthawk... with this years "Sweat" still ringing in our ears, it's hard to think ahead as far as next year.

Keep an eye on Trad Gang. You'll see the first notice of it here.

Is the coffee ready yet Charlie?

[JC]

If that one was "young" I'd hate to meet up with his pap or granpap!  

[tmccall]

I'm sipping my coffee, waiting for the story...   :D

[RayMO]

Charlie, my son is an instructor at a culinary school, teaches meat processing and such. He has made some hams for us in the past, hog and venson...they really can be good.

One of our favorite ways to eat hog is simply take a whole back leg (I guess this assumes it is not too big, 100 pounder is about perfect). Wrap it up in aluminum, push it to the side of a webber. Bank the coals on the opposite side with wood chips and cook very slow. After 4 hours or so start pulling the pork...man is that some good eats.

And it makes the butchering job easy also.

Tap, tap, tap on the screen. Can't get my Lam fix yet and the coffee is ready...
