Many of the greatest rewards are realized after a longtime investment. Your wise unwaning perseverance delivered tenfold.

Thank you for sharing and a salute to you.

Can't say anything more than what has already been said. Congrats on a truly honorable hunt!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. As someone who is brand new to traditional archery, I cannot wait to experience the thrill of a pursuit like yours. You are a great story teller and I'm so glad you shared. Thanks!

I had looked at the pics a few days ago but just now had time to read the story. Wow! An epic tale of perseverence! Congrats!

I just got around to reading the many comments that followed the story I wrote. I had hoped that you all would "get it" and understand the real purpose of the story. This was all about the hunt, the chess game and this amazing animal. Thanks for truly understanding. This place is full of awesome folks.

I applaud your command of the written word, but that skill is far over shadowed by the teachings you shared in this post. It touches on every value of what a traditional bowhunter should live and breath.

This should be a mandatory read for any new comer to this lifestyle.

Congrats on your harvest!

I have read the finish....to the end of page 3...will read all tomorrow.

Wow...that's all I can say Jerry. I've seen hogs like that in the wild myself a few times, and contrary to what many believe, they are NOT farm fed or get that big just eating corn. There really are hogs that big corn or no corn. And yes, they are very smart, unbelievably smart.

I was told of a hog once, not at big as yours, had him beat on a hunt, but chose not to shoot....my reason is personal and I need to say no more, but he was a smart one let me tell you. It was just the wrong hunt to shoot him on. BUT, I will never forget getting to full draw on him 12 ft up and 12 yards away. He would have been the biggest hog I've killed to date....and what a memory.

I can't imagine your feelings at the time, but I can come close. I once too hunted an animal that I did not want to end but it did. It wasn't as long or as intense and calculating as yours.

Way to go sir....that's what hunting is all about....perseverance and staying the course. And, its extra special on an animal such as that.

Congrats again, and thank you SO MUCH for sharing....even if I was the only one you shared it with, it was well worth it.

I first meet Jerry several years ago when we started talking about hunting in Africa. Several conversations later we were booked to Namibia for a 10 day planes game hunt. I remember setting in the airport in Johannesburg waiting on our flight to Windhoek and Jerry starts telling me about this super, large, smart, incredibly intelligent hog that he was hunting that he had named "Kong".
I have told him since that I thought he was a little over the top on his descriptions of how big and how smart this pig was. Several years go buy and several hunts together and the legend of Kong continued to grow.
Well you have read the store and now I know that he was no exaggeration, he was the super hog.
As far as Jerry goes I have never met a more determined hunter and I am thankful to call him friend and hope to spend many more night around the camp fire and hear the store of Kong retold.
We've got bear camp coming up in June so I wonder how the story can be translated to French.

For those that care to see it, here is a little video of the recovery of Kong. It is pretty cool because I included some trail cam videos of him. It also shows the jungle like swamp he lived in.

Certainly not the best quality video I have produced but all we had was a cell phone. Some great memories non the less.

Very cool Jerry, can't wait to get to meet and hunt with you! How much penetration you get on that monster?
