Hogs aren't exactly an elite big game species, but they can be challenging. Here's a newly published article about one such hunt. Rumor has it, the author is a Bowsite member.

That’s a damn big pig!
Did you get a Euro mount outta the deal?
I think I would like to be able to hunt them, but I KNOW that I am glad that we don’t have them here.

Corax -
I got both, a shoulder mount and a euro mount. I did the euro mount myself.

That’s impressive. I guess I should have figured, but I had no idea just how sturdy the sockets are for those machetes…
But I gotta ask…. How’s the eating on something like that?

Corax - On wild hogs, amazing table fare. You often hear about big boars being less-than-good eating, and I suspect there's a measure of truth to that, but if you take the same care as with any big game animal, you'll be surprised how good they can be. Of course, a smaller sow increases your odds of impressing your friends at the bbq.
