4-19-10


Today I guided Brett Nystrom from Yreka,California on a hog hunt. The morning started with plenty of action as we were on pigs right out of the gate. The first group of pigs beat us into the thick brush, so we went off in search of some more. As we crested a ridge we ran into a group of 8 pigs, they were on the move and offered no opportunity at a shot. We then traveled down into the valley suspecting there might be some pigs down by the creek. After a 20 minute search we found 1 lone boar mixed in with the cows and the stalk was on. We snuck to within 50 yards of the boar and Brett hammered him. The first shot had him stunned and it took one more well placed shot to the head to finish him off. The boar was roughly 225 pounds with one and a half inch cutters. Another successful hunt with a very happy client.
