Here are some pics.

 

Last year i made some changes to my mountain bike and it has been a great addition to my hunting. Gets me back in and I still have some legs left for hunting all day. I've rolled out 3 hogs on it sense then but its a pain to wash it after the hog has turned it red. Well a couple of months ago i picked up a flat bed trailer with side rails, replace the spoke rims with some composite BMX rims and it should carry close to 180 lbs no problem.

Heres a pic of my new hog extraction device.

There feral hogs, taste good, average size i'd say 125 to 150. I have killed some above 200. I like taking the 100 to 150 size but i always take the first shot opportunity i get. I don't know the stats on population but i would say California would be second to Texas.
