Les had made a good shot on a raccoon!  Congrats again bud      :thumbsup:    
•    

"Swamp Thing"...Bubba, Marty's other hound would spend the next 3 hrs chasing him....good thing he was around to save us....
•    

As you can see, the fun and games never stop at Marty's....
•    

We spent a couple hours again un-winding, reflecting, telling, and planning for the morning by the camp fire. Not a better way to conclude a day of hunting in south Florida.  Marty with the full moon behind him....
•    

The next morning would be our last hunt of the trip. Biggie would get up with us, but wasn't planning to hunt so as to hit the road early. He had 8 hrs of driving ahead of him......

 The emotion was already starting well up inside me....I knew tomorrow I'd have to say good bye....something that's never easy for me when leaving good friends.....

Next thing I knew my alarm woke me at 5:00am...first time in 4 days...proving that I was getting wore out.....but that to me, is a sign of a great hunt.....

I joined the boys by the fire.....

All that's missing from the thread now is a picture of a fine wild hog breakfast--biscuits and gravy with some nice thick boar patties on the side. MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm...mmm

Curt is very good at the picture thing. I carry a small digital with me too but never seem to take it out of the case 8-(
I pledge to start taking pics beginning with my next trip. You can't remember everything, I've seen a few pics and thought oh yeah, I almost forgot about that.

Very, very cool buddy!  Not one but two Bobcats!! Now we know how the 100# hog got dragged to the other side......

Guess that's what we saw slink off Sunday morning.

I wonder where the other hog is in the coyote pic??

Guys, I'll try to finish this up tomorrow with the last of the pix and some final thoughts......

I sure miss being in camp with my two big brothers    :(

Hey Guru and others are there time when the Hogs are not edible?  I live down south and have not tried hog hunting yet, want too just don't know how I guess?  But it appears from the pictures that the hogs were not skinned or not all the meat used, is there a time when the meats not good or does it depend if it a sow or boar? I 've heard that a boar not good to eat due to musk glands..just wondering out loud, thanks.

John, the sow was diseased or just very, very poor. We were afraid to eat her. To answer your question, no, there is no time of year were they are unedible like a squirrel.
The other hog was skinned and quartered using the gutless method. We also split the skin down the back for easier removal and that one was just flopped back over and looked whole again.
