Today I guided Joe and Chris Hoon on a pig hunt. We started the morning in one of my favorite glassing locations but it was un productive so we moved to another. Minutes after sitting down we spotted a group of 7 pigs making their way towards us. We got set up and the waiting game began but some how the pigs pulled a Houdini on us and we never saw them again. We waited on these pigs for over an hour before heading into the next canyon. We had not gone a mile when I spotted a lone boar feeding under a oak tree 500 yards away. We quickly came up with a plan and the race was on. We took off on foot and quickly closed the distance to 125 yards where Joe made a great one shot kill dropping the boar in it's tracks. The boar was roughly 150 pounds and should be great for the BBQ, just what he was looking for.
