Today I guided Jim Fee and John Huntsman for pigs. We started hunting at first light and no more than 10 minutes into it we had a big boar walk out into the road in front of us, so I slammed on the brakes and the guys jumped out of the ranger but the boar headed down the canyon never to be seen again. We then headed up the hill and as we rounded the corner a 120 pound sow crossed the road in front of us so Jim bailed out and put the hammer down! He made a nice shot and was soon standing over his pig. We quickly gutted and loaded the pig and then went in search of a pig for John. We searched high and low and eventually ran into another group of pigs. The pigs were across the canyon so we set out on foot to try and close the gap. We closed the gap to 200 yards and John got on the sticks and ready to shoot. We had to reposition a couple of times to get a clear shot but we finally got set. At the crack of the rifle the bullett flew right over the pigs back, never to be seen again. It was a close call but they pig got away unscathed. It just goes to show that you can't kill them all.
