Yep, very easy to get along with and very accommodating. I enjoyed the hunt. BTW, I just got a little lucky and won a hunt at Independence Ranch. I go next Wed.
I'd like to run into on of this guys big brothers:

Great story TX!
I don't know why, but I just don't remember to check Crossbow Chronicles. I think it's because I go to the trophy room and well, I don't know. Anyhow, I love pork!
You've seen my picture and can tell I'm a fan of the dinner table and pork is a favorite at our house.
I was luck enough to find an almost new condition, four year old upright freezer last week at an estate sale. I hauled it home today and tucked it in to the attached garage. The Mrs. loves the game I bring home but this last hog hunt would have us on overflow if we had not added the freezer. I'll post some pictures next week as we rearrange the freezers.

That is a definitely a bunch of meat! Nice score on the freezer too!
I learned how to home can my venison this year. What a great feeling it is to know that not only did I kill and clean it, but I've also processed it in a way that it is ready to eat.
My wife has always put up fruit, veggies and jam so we looked it up. Man are we glad I did! I throw a few Chipotle peppers in with the ground stuff too. But I am a true chili-head, love the heat n flavor.
I can only imagine how wonderfully tender a hog would be, canned with seasonings. I think I just drooled a little...
I'll have to put out a "want to hunt hog in SE Ohio" thread somewhere.

Well, we may have underestimated our freezer needs...... This is before any rearrangement but it's all good!
217 lbs in all. Two huge boned hams, ribs, backstraps, tenderloins, breakfast sausage (mild and hot), jalapeno cheddar and chipotle jack hot links and my favorite jalapeno cheddar summer sausage.
Thank you mother nature, the wild hog nation, TenPoint/Horton, SSAS, Grim Reaper and a host of others that made this hunt another one to remember.

Hey Bob, I took this sow at Tar Hallow State Park about three years ago. I saw her along with another sow and about six piglets. This was my first and so far only time hunting hogs in Ohio, but they are here. I talked to the Ohio DNR to find out where my best chances were and gave it a shot and it paid off. The other pigs I saw had colorations much like you see on the farm. This black one presented a shot with my muzzleloader, so I took her. She wasn't big by any means, but my first attempt hunting them when I thought even seeing one was a long shot. It turned out pretty well. Not to snipe this thread, I just wanted you to know Ohio does have a small population of wild hogs and not that far from you. She made good barbecue, and sausage. I was quite pleased.

It is definitely well worth the time it takes. You can even thaw and can what you have. That's what I did in preparation of that elusive third deer I didn't bag
DNR stated to take as many as I want as they are causing a lot of destruction. Well, not as easy as it sounds, those critters are fast and are gone if they see , hear or smell you.
It's pathetic how far some archers will go to hate crossbows and those who use them. Last season my son and I came upon a guy in a wheelchair being terrorized by such a jerk. The poor guy in the wheelchair had been bowhunting alone along an access road in a local wildlife area. His buddy was off...
My neighborhood, like many in East TX, is plagued by multiple Sounders of feral hogs. After my dog Rocky was attacked by some (thank the Lord he survived) I declared war. My wife had bought me my first crossbow, a Barnett Whitetail Hunter II, for my previous birthday, and I started practicing...
May we never forget what its really about when we enter the woods or hunting field. This poem spoke to me, I don't know the author but would not mind sharing a campfire with him.

I bought 2 nice crossbows and rangefinder and camos and a turkey call and lisence and target practiced since November of last year which led to my boss and co workers to become very envious of me and I changed jobs to avoid confrontation and stress everyday. Now that I just started a new and...
Patience
It was very early in the morning, dark thirty. Getting to the tree stand in the pitch darkness, with only a red light takes some navigating. The glow tags placed on trees leading in helps. A lot. With extreme, exaggerated slowness to remain quiet, I make my way up the metal strip...
