I could go to Texas too, but now I live in northern Utah so it would be only slightly less impractical to haul meat back here. I've got friends in Idaho (about 4 hours away) who hunt every year so I wrote them an email seeing what's available.
I have a lot of hunters in my family and...

Ain't no way I'm going to follow a wounded black hog through a gooey black swamp at night. If the hog didn't have the decency to die when I shot it, I'd probably wait til it was light enough to see before I'd go in to finish it off. I wouldn't want to get up close and personal to an...

Actually Boyd, I would prefer to hunt hogs with something resembling a harpoon sized for Moby Dick but I suspect it would be more awkward than using a rifle. Plus it would tend to tear the meat up. I think you're right about a magnum though, with hollow points. I don't care how fast the...

I like sow or doe best, though I've never tried uncut game. Gamey taste is not my fave, though I think it's better than the factory farmed crap they sell in the stores.

Javelinas are a lot smaller than wild or feral hogs, and travel in packs, boars, sows, juveniles and young all together. They're fast, dangerous, unpredictable, and they work as a team to take down anything they see as a threat. If...
I got a non-toxic fly trap at CAL-Ranch called Pop or something. They recycle old 2 liter pop bottles with a trap thingie on top and the rest of the pop bottle on the bottom. You fill the pop bottle to the line they have marked and then put the attractant in the water, and then put the top on...
A farmer I knew had a bantam splash rooster he said was a total pest and asked did I want him. I said yes and took him home. I named him Adolf Chickler, but he turned out to be a total sweetheart. We used to watch TV together. He liked the bottoms of his feet rubbed and would fall asleep on his...
I'm hopelessly addicted. I suspect the first seed (or egg) was planted when I was 5 years old and staying with my great grandparents. Finding eggs was like the biggest rush and I never got over it, even after I went alone and got flogged by a rooster twice my size. Then I lived in Argentina for...
That picture looks like a feral hog. I'm not sure what kind of disposition they'd have or how dangerous they'd be to hunt. I've gone dove hunting in Texas and had to watch out for javalinas. That was years ago and far away. When I think wild pig I think of the big honkin all-wild brutes not...
