It is a great story Jerry no doubt about it..... Pure dedication.

It's been a couple years since I bumped this story about this epic 3 year hog hunt. I have taken a couple hundred hogs I guess but this one taught me more about the species (and myself) than any other. 

For those that missed it, I hope you enjoy it.

Great adventure. I especially appreciated you sharing your feelings and your respect for the animal.

Jerry,
I would never want you hunting me!
If they gave a prize for the best post of the year - Kong's would be first place. So many great lessons, I learned about hogs, dedication, values and respect for the animal and the process.
You guided me at bear camp and gave me the most exciting hunt of my 75 yrs.

    What a fantastic story and congrats on the magnificent animal!!!!!!  Man,  what a HOG!!!!

[Josh H]

One of the best stories I've read.

I want others to read it and take in the full experience.

It has the best of both worlds:

An animal with outstanding intelligence and adaptability, and a hunter's determination and cunning to bring the animal home.

Congratulations Mr Russell- it was indeed the hunt of a lifetime.

I think I've read this three times over the years. It is one of my all time favorite stories of Tradgang. Maybe the best one. Thanks for bringing it up again.

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. What a great story. Hard work and dedication pays off.

I'm different in that I can be watching what is considered by many to be a premium movie and get up and go to sleep with ten minutes left and never give a hoot how it ends. But this hog hunt captivated me till the end. A man with the grit to stick it out and a gift to tell the story. Well done Jerry!
