I guess thats why nobody wanted to go to that part of the swamp. The hogs are too big to get out in one piece.

Sounds like Matt owes you a one 'jumbo animal' recovery mission.
If man were to know everything in advance, there would be no such thing as adventure!

If it wasn't 95 I would say forget the 4-wheeler, and get a king size portable rotisserie, and eat him on the spot.

Nice pig Matt. Biggie, I feel your pain. Got a bud who never shots anything big until he knows I'm in camp and always seems to develop back problems when time comes to drag or skin/gut? whats the deal? DB

Matt were you sitting 100 yards behind that thing or is it a big boss?

Congrats.
Relax,

That's a great hog Matt - way to go! However a real friend would have pissed the hog off and let him chase him closer to the truck before shooting him   :biglaugh:  - ya gotta go easy on Biggie so he can stick around to kill that Moose ya know! Congrats again on a bruiser of a pig!

That is one heck of a mess of pork. A hog that size might be enough ribs for....one meal.
