A hard earned hog

[interceptor]

G'day Lads,

I went out with a mate this week end looking for pigs, we walked over 15klms for the week end as the flood plains are still too wet for the grizz.

We found a shallow wet season billabong (more of a saltwater flood pan) and we found four salties in less than 600 mtrs.

We came to the last swamp and were disapointed to not see any hogs. As we stood in the shade taking a break I spotted a nice solid Boar coming along the edge of the reeds. The wind was perfect so I stalked into around 10 yards and put a Woody's Supreme through the boiler room and he was down in around 12 yards, I was stoked with such an effective kill.

My mate also dropped an excellent boar, he is a little shy so no pics of his kill:cool:.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Cheers Noel

G'day Lads,

Glad you like the pics, the tusks pulled around 27pts (rough) and those lizards are everywhere at the moment, the water that they were in is a foot deep at the most. They will move on soon, in a few weeks that water will be dry and the pigs would have turned the lot over. The crocs go back to the river and few of them hang out in tiny pools that are in the jungle islands on the flood plains, you would be amazed at the places we have found the buggers.

The hog my mate got had a split n%t bag and one of his family jewels was almost draggin on the ground, looked pretty painful.

Cheers Noel
