This Clash of the Titans should be an absolute blast. Now, all we need are for a few pigs to show up to the party! Assuming I have signal at the ranch, I will keep you guys posted on the competition.
Tom who?!? HAHA, jk!

There are 6 teams, and they each have hunted 3 times so that's basically 18 "hunts". To my knowledge, every single "hunt" teams have had multiple stalking attempts. We can't ask for any better opportunities than that!
I would like to first discuss the scoring system so you will understand what you are seeing in the photos.
Scoring will be based on both total number of hogs harvested and total weight. Both scores will be tallied each scoring period. During each scoring period, each team's score will be broken into two categories. The first is total weight harvested, and the second is total # of hogs harvested. There are 6 teams competing. The team with the highest total number of hogs harvested in each period will receive 6 points. The team with the highest total weight of hogs harvested will also receive 6 points. Second place will receive 5 points, third place 4 points, fourth place 3 points, and so on. If any team fails to harvest a hog during a scoring period, they will receive double zeros. Ties will split the allocated points. The team with the highest point total at the end of the six scoring periods will have the dubious honor of being crowned 2017 Ultimate Predator/ Barnes Keith Ranch Boss Hog World Champion!!
Dyjack, you are correct!
Thx for sharing!
It most certainly was, Drycreek.
My apologies for not keeping this updated. I was having a terrible time with signal.
The VanWinkle team was consistent throughout the entire competition. After getting blanked the first time out, they produced every other hunting session. This consistency brought them into almost a dead tie with Mr. Olympian himself going into the last round of competition.
If that wasn't enough suspense. When both teams rolled in, they both had dropped two hogs per team. Therefore, it was literally going to come down the scales. The way the points were playing out in the final round meant the highest total weight of each team's two pigs was going to win the entire competition. We couldn't have asked for a better finale to an awesome competition.
The VanWinkle team's hogs combined for 187 pounds of pig. Then, it was time to weigh Brady's hogs. His first pig came in at 94 pounds. He needed another 94 pounds to take the title as "Boss Hog". Last day, last team, last hog.......I love barnburners.........124 lbs!!! We had a winner, Brady Ellison!
I cannot speak highly enough about these guys and the ranch. I was born and raise in TX for 28 years. In fact, my family has a ranch less than an hour from this property, and my jaw dropped as we were driving around the ranch. It's one of the absolute most beautiful ranches I have ever seen down there. If that's not enough, it also has 11 miles of the CO River for one border of the ranch.
They have a wonderful mission to feed as many families as possible. If anyone is interested in donating to their organization, I can assure you it will go to a good cause. Feel free to contact them through www.huntforchrist.com.
