Today I guided Scott Seidenstricker from Reno, Nevada on a pig hunt. We hit the ranch at first light and right off of the bat spotted a large group of pigs working the top of a ridge but before we could get on them they made it into the brush, never to be seen again. I decided to go and check a different area of the ranch where I had been seeing alot of activity and as we crused along on the Polaris we spotted a lone boar but again he gave us the slip. By now it was around noon so we decided to take a break for a couple of hours before heading out again. We started back after the pigs around 3:00 and around 5:00 I spotted a lone boar making his way across a flat. We took off on foot in hot pursuit and in a matter of minutes we closed the gap and Scott had the boar in his sights. The boar was quartering away as he walked along the trail and when Scott was ready I gave the coyote howl and the boar froze in his tracks. Scott made a great shot and the boar went a mere 50 yards before piling up. A quick look at the old warrior showed scars and ripped ears as well as some 2.5 inch cutters. This boar was a true trophy and weighed around 300 pounds. It was another great hunt with Scott and this was his biggest pig to date. That one will be hard to top!
