This is one of my Hog Hunters friends he is having a great year to say the least so far.

Check out this story….  A fella I went to Bridgeport HS with is having an awesome year so far……  He is going for the Nebraska slam with his bow….

First he shot a nice antelope in Aug…..no pics

Then, opening day of deer archery season, he bags a 210” mulie!!!  (pic)

He drew a coveted NE bull elk tag and just took out a 365” bull (currently the NE state record with a bow! Still have to wait the 60days) (pics)

And now he has a real nice 6x6 whitetail posing in front of his trail cam!!

Then, all he needs is a turkey and he will do it…

Some people have all the luck………

Eric Domonique Dominguez took this great Boar Sat evening with his fellow Colorado friends, They took 11 Hogs in two evenings. www.redriverboars.com Red River Outdoors LLC Palo Duro Canyon  Good Times with good friends thats what it's  all about.   Thanks Gentlemen    I have a 3 spot open April 2,3,4   The new ranch we just aquired has good turkey hunting also

This is a Cajun shot East Texas wild boar from around Elkhart at 8:30 at night on November 2, 2009. There was a full moon and I used an ATN Aries 390 Paladin night vision scope with a weaver mount on a Tompson Center Venture 306. The round hit 3/4 of an inch behind the ear at over 90 yards and the hog froze on all fours as he was hit. I called my brother on the wireless and said I missed him shoot him Eric. He shot and hit the hog in the leg at the elbow and the bullet splintered the leg and the hog fell over to our delight. We had got him. The shot at the leg shattered the leg but did not hit the hog as we walked up on the hog there was no sign of a good hit on him. Until we searched throughly did we find the hole behind the ear. I went to get my Uncle and the truck and Eric was going to guard the hog from preditors from the stand. The truck fell through the bridge at Hank's crossing on Squirl Creek and we had to go back to the barn to get the tractor to get the truck off the bridge. The tractor could not get the truck up out of the hole and we were back to the barn for a jack to lift the truck and pull it off the bridge. My uncle said, "well at least we did not need the car to jump the tractor. to get the truck off the bridge." Once the truck was off the bridge we fixed the hole and drove down to the lower part of the pastures to retreive the hog that Eric had defended from at least on attack by Cayotes. He said what took you two so long and we told him the about the troubles. We finished gutting the hog up by the house that night and Hank said well boys I have had enough fun I am off to bed. He is 87 and quite a sport about everything. The next day we tore the bridge completely apart and repaired it to last for the next fifty years. HERBIE was the hog we saw the next night wadding accross the three feet of water in the bottom of the pasture where Squirl Creek and Turkey Creek come together and a beaver has decided to make a place for himself. HERBIE snorted each time he had strided in a motion through the water. We both had beeds on him at 50 yards with no chance of missing but I said to my brother Eric do not shoot him till he gets out of the water because the mud was knee deep plus the water it would not be fun to pul that hog out.  He agreed and HERBIE winded us. Showed us his hind quarters and made for the woods. HERBIE was three times the size of the hog we shot. The butcher said the hog was two and a half years old and the hog weighed after gutting around 175 to 200. These are photos the next morning on our way to the butcher. We are going after HERBIE this spring.

Here's what I used to  bowhunt out of for many years. I got turned off from that, but am going to use them to hand gun hunt some hogs at my place. I got tired of being rained and snowed on so I went to this. It was a blessing in disguiee. The animals never spooked. I have this one located about twenty-five yards from a hog crossing. I will be cutting a slit 4" X 18" to get the shot out. The color does not matter, believe me, I have taken turkey and deer from this set up.

My 13 year old step-daughter has been asking me for years to take her hunting.  I had taken her turkey hunting when she was 7 years old and she spent her time picking flowers for me instead of being STILL!  LOL  I had a ram that needed to be taken out of the herd so I decided to take her for her first harvest.  We practiced shooting at the lodge and she was dead on...she harvested this animal with a one great shot!  He may not be big but SHE IS HOOKED!  All she can talk about is hunting!  She now wants a buffalo for her wall...told her we needed to start smaller...like a hog! LOL

Well, I'm proud of her...I've made memories with her and that's what it's all about.  Can't wait to get the mount.  Oh, she even helped me cape it out!  What a girl!!

This gobbler just did not want to leave his harem for a hen across the way. Fortunately, I was carrying T/C 7-30 for hogs and it reached across the 140 yards and touched him! The rest of the story is that later when I saw a bunch of small pigs, I sneaked up close enough to take two with one load of turkey shot. So, the hog gun got the tom, and the turkey gun got the hogs. Whatever works!

One happy turkey hunter in his Trail Hog.

I have been meaning to post these pics for a while.... next thing you know it's July.

Sorry for the poor pic quality (I forgot my camera, so I had to make due with my camera phone.)
