Thanks Nikko and Ray...Danny any time, just let me know. Chuck C maybe you can talk Sticshooter to come with you on a plane. I've been trying    :rolleyes:   no luck so far   :D   Otto   :bigsmyl:   that was funny! You don't know how many times I've done a great stalk only to find I sneaked up on a rock....LOL
Ryan  you know Homer?  He's a great guy and he's got the perfect job.
Frank there is a very good reason why my wife needs this trophy mounted on her living room wall....I just haven't figured out the reason yet...but I'm working on it.

Way to go Jerry! Nice to see you still keeping the Hog population in check. Wishing you the best in the New Year. Will probally make a trip back to the island in '07 or '08 depending on my Brother in law's deployment.

Yup Ryan, Dillingham Airfield is on my beat. Always make an excuse to talk to Homer to see how his trapping is going. He's helped me with pig trapping a bunch...been trying to get him to shoot his bow again.

Congrats but one question...just how does a hog open a coconut? (they are tough to open when you have 2 hands, 2 feet and a machete)
There is always someone that knows more than you, and someone that knows less than you, so you can always learn and you can always teach

Hey Mickey....you know I'm not sure...I've only heard them cracking the nut with thier jaws.. they'll eat the rotting and fermenting nuts as well as the fresh ones. I believe they husk them like a dog does, pulling husk off one end while holding the nut with a foot but thats only a guess...the property owner also sell alot of mature cocnut trees to hotels , golf courses ect...the heavy equipment used to dig up the trees crushes the nuts that fall to the ground as they're run over...this atttacts the pigs, birds and mongoose too.
