I'll let Joe post his better pics, but this was the scene of the cooler before all pigs were added. There were some VERY nice sized hogs taken. Kudos to Zeb and Tony! Hog hunting machines! I had another blast with a great group of guys and Deb of course...just an outstanding hunt with good friends.

Congrats Weedy . Did ya use the White?

Wow. You guys clearly showed them the yankee boys can hunt! Bring on the pictures.

Great pictures.

Nice Job Guys Boy i see alot more Grey hair in the group from last year. lmao Again Great Job Guys and Deb

Nice pile o' pork!

This is a great break from hunting in Indiana, hunting pigs between deer season and turkey season breaks up the winter duldrum. It helps when you use a great guide service who works herd to put people on hogs(and lots of them). The past couple of years the hogs had been down on the primary ranch, we were told it was because of drought, when they got rain the hogs would return. We hunted several other ranches nearby and had success. It has been a rainy fall and winter in the Hill Country of Texas and true to the guides comment the hogs returned. We did hunt another ranch(50 miles each way)but the hog sightings were basically the same on each ranch. Problem was Tony Zeb and Weed were sent there to hunt, bad news for hogs!

Anyone wanting a great hunt as promised for anything Texas has to offer contact Pope Brothers Guide service, you wont be disappointed.

One of our guides this year is the grandson of the owner of the famed King Ranch, 911,000 acres! The stories he told were worth the trip alone. He's a woldlife biologist, taxidermist, and guides for Clay part time....... an heir to the King Ranch. I think the future of wildlife and hunting on the King Ranch is safe with him

A great hunt.. i was just happy to be back in the game and see if i could hack it..shooting from the bench hurt like ****. But when hunting i felt nothing... rusty to say the least but in able to do it... another hurdle crossed for me..a very special thanks tp joe and zeb for driving... not pnly that taking care of processing ..i owe on this one joe. .
Great trip with great people ...

Now thats a ball of bacon !!!! great pics, Thanks for sharing.

How does the processing work ? Everybody keep there own ? combine it all then split it ? good parts ? bad parts ? lard or no lard ?

My son came up with the real statistic.... 21 hogs and a conservative estimate of 100 pounds each, "we killed a ton of pigs"!

We have been processing pigs all week, will complete the project on Saturday. We make sure everyone in the group has pork. Between my son and I we took 7 hogs, no way we can use that many over the next year so we will share the bounty. Is it everyone takes their own, no we pile it up and everyone shares the bounty.

There is not any lard in wild pigs, what we have found is you can't beat the breakfast sausage and Italion sausage, we keep a couple hams and shoulders for smoking on the grill and grind the rest. Nothing goes to waste.

Looks like we are going to grind over 250 pounds of pork on Saturday!

Get ahold of me Friday, Joe. I've re-sharpend and ready to finish these things up in a couple of hours.

Tony's statistic isn't far fetched!

Smells like sausage gravy too me !!!!

Ill be there saturday after the cook off with help..

Look like GREAT time...

Weed... what was the weapon of choice on the "BIG" one???

.270 to the head.
