It was supposed to rain today so we cancelled our hunting plans, but Maggs and I got up and it was nice and not raining so we decided to go give it a try. We took just Sasha along with us since she was in heat and we didn't want to get any puppies on the way. We dumped out and Sasha just left and headed for a nearby creek. About 5 minutes later she started barking. Maggs and I made out way there slowly and snuck in quietly to alot of hogs bayed up. I saw one big brown sow and popped her in the heart lungs with a 12 gauge slug. The bay broke away from us and Sasha ended up setting another good size sow sat down and then bayed her. I smacked her. Then she went about 100yds and bayed another up, that hog broke towards me and Maggie and I pumped one into her lengthwise. About that time here came a 30lb shoat, ran into a bush next to us and that made 4. That brings the total since the first of the year to 71. Lots of pork loin in the freezer all the sudden.
The sow hanging from the scales in the pic weighed 165lb dressed weight, the hog to her left i'd estimate at about 130 dressed and the one on the right around 115lbs. They where butterball fat and the meat seemed real tender as I was cleaning them a bit ago.
