Porkapalooza 15 will be June 10-12. Yep, it's happening this week. Lots of veteran Bowsiters such as Hunt4Life, Boothill, Ahunter35, Skeptic, and Buffalo. I'll try to do a live hunt if I get reception (tree cover hurts in the summer and AT&T needs to boost their signal). At the worst, I'll do a recap at night. So if you're stuck in the office or work, tune in on Thursday afternoon and I hope we can entertain. Cheers! Hamicus Procurus

Sorry John, Is Curt Ahunter35? Bou, I'm hoping the hogs are dry! Pork 16 is in the works. More details after Pork 15. Hint: We might run 2 hunts back-to-back so more folks have an opportunity at the Porkapalooza.

Yes, I have this bad habit of arranging a crowd and thus, missing the Porkapalooza. Did it again this year....another long hunt in December. I'm not complaining.

No hogs killed the first night but Curt was the first hunter to bring in a hog Friday morning. After a great fish fry (compliments of Les & April), I found a hog near the creek and put a nice stalk and shot. Hog weighed 127 lbs.

Greg Duncan, Buffalo1 also scored on a great hog as well. A few other folks connected on hogs but they got away. Jon, Linda, Grant, and Rylee Holmes are awesome hosts. Les and April Frodsham worked hard to keep the hunters happy, Looking forward to Pork 16.

Temps were in the mid-90s but the humidity was really high and the heat index went triple digits. Saturday we had a big rain in the morning and after it passed, temps were comfortable and I was out the door sp. Hog ran only 5 yards spotting and stalking. The first hog spotted was snoozing in a shady, shallow ravine close to where I shot a nice hog the year before. I got about 16 yards away before dropping.

Looks like another good time! Saw that one was taken at night with a rifle. Are they still doing night hunts with thermal?
