There are some more critters then need a eulogy.

Maybe we should eulogize the cow that made the ultimate sacrifice so we could enjoy the awesome ribeyes that Peanut grilled up for us!

As we gather here in remembrance of Bob...A fine angus all the way to the end.

I am with you Brian. Those steaks were great. Good food, good hunting, good friends and new friends. It was great.

Yeah...It's like pulling teeth...

Cyclic-Rivers · January 21, 2013, 09:09:00 AM

One week to hunt and 3 to tell the tale. Nothing like savoring the flavor

At least it helps the winter months go by!

Naw......

It's more like pulling arrows out of all the hogs Woods and I killed!!!

Solana.

A word that has come to mean so much to a great many of us.

A word that brings back memories and anticipation at the same time.

It was good to be back this time with my son Woods.

Well said;)

The preliminaries have been discussed ad nauseum so I will get right to the tale.

David put me in a tripod where he had been feeding the road and as I settled in I was again amazed at how well I was hidden.

Almost immediately I was seeing deer. Saw several does and some smaller bucks. Nothing that got me interested.

As a I was waiting all the deer jerked their heads up and then I heard it.....Hogs

They came barreling in and ran the deer off.
Since it was getting dark I shot the closest biggest one. They all lit out at the shot. She made it about 100 yards on a dead run. Then she cartwheeled about four time and it was done.

Cyclic-Rivers · January 21, 2013, 11:12:00 AM

Ok, Now the pump is finally primed.

Get ready to enjoy the flood

sunny hill archer · January 21, 2013, 03:04:00 PM

When David came to pick me up everybody piled out to look for the pig. Tom saw the eyes of the dog shining and Roland thought it was the hogs eyes!!!

He kept saying "get your bow" "where's your bow"

I knew the pig was done and told Woods to get ready... Just in case.

Well the pig was indeed expired and we put her on the back of the truck.
