First Hog!

[Flyboy]

After several months of trying intermittently, I finally managed to score my first hog:

Took this one in Rubottom, OK (about 20 miles west of Marietta) about three in the afternoon on Sunday. He was asleep in the mud when I found him. I put a round of .45-70 through his cervical spine and he never even tried to get up. We didn't weigh him, but we guessed at about 150lb.

He is currently resting comfortably in the ice chest. Well, a couple of ice chests. And the dumpster. Memorial services will be held at the barbeque pit.

Nice, now go get about 100 more! I must admit it is addicting when you get one that is in a group running around, it is like the woods come alive with them.

Not sure who is getting it, but if the recent trend holds, it will be a group from Texas that leases it. Not to many 20K acre DMP leases available.

My understanding is that Sportsman's did not renew the lease for two main reasons: Kimbell was doubling the price of the lease and Kimbell wanted to further limit the number of bucks taken.

I was on a friend's land. I'm not a member of any clubs or leases. And I plan to be back next weekend; it'll take a lot of pigs to do a serious barbeque if I want to serve ribs.
