He had quite a layer of fat so he should be prime Well, if "Big'un" shows up......stick him & shoot me a pic. Sounds perfect on the fresh killed pork. The more the fat the better.

What's the one hangin go, bout 180-190?
I went with a handicapped kid down here last yr. He has a pneumatic cross bow. It was just great to be out in the swamp, bout 90 degrees and just a few mosquitos. He ended up getting a young boar that was probably only about 150 but man it was good.

Man, that surprised me so I re-checked the pic and it is the same distortion Condello uses ta make his fish look larger. I was comparing it to the tractor and then realized the tractor is a bit away.

I'm still looking for a big boar with lots of teeth, most up here don't have big tusks for some reason..... Maybe the sand wears them down

Pat all the boar heads ya see hangin on walls have their tusks pulled up to look more fearsome. The ranch I hunted on last yr charged much more for "trophy" boar. They determined it a trophy if the tusks were 1" or longer. My friend was very careful to pick out a smaller one.

On an interesting note, check out the triple cutters on Pat's latest kill. I spoke with an old east Texas hog trapper about 10 years ago. He indicated that back in the 40's, you would never see cutters like that on a feral hog. It seems that they have been evolving to this (see pic below) in the past 75 years. Pretty interesting and a bit scary at the same time.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Well, Pat W. is still on the war path. He shot this big boar yesterday (Tuesday) morning hours before daylight. Pat indicated that the pistol in the photo was for size reference only.

Looks like the hog came armed and Pat got him in self defense. Well done!

Well Pat W. is still wearing the hogs out in SE Texas...He shot this stinky "Piney Wood Rooter" on May 14th....check out the stones on that rascal!  Then, he shot this rascal 4-5 days later...Pat claimed he shot it with a rifle. Must've had a ricochet off of or splintered a bone to make that kind of an exit wound....A word to the wise, don't go creepin' around Pat's place at night uninvited...ha!
