How do you tell when a Pig is in heat?


When she starts buying you drinks! 

I made it to my sweet spot much later than I wanted. Oh well, hunting is hunting, no matter what time it is. Right away I come across warm pig scat. Yeah, to some of us that is exciting. About 15 minutes into my pussyfooting thru the woods I hear a ruckus coming my way. I know that sound, pigs! About 30 yds away one runs by, then another, and another. They bunch up and run downhill right at me, and stop at 20 yds. They sense me and bolt back to where they came from. As they start this run I pick a black one and let fly. I see my arrow hit, though not where I wanted it. Still, lots of blood right away. 15 minutes later and a fun roll downhill I know the sow is a goner. While I wait another herd run by close enough for an easy shot. Lots of piggies today.
I must thank Allen for coming to my aid and helping me drag it out. I couldn't have done it by myself. Well, maybe, but I'd still be there!
I also have to thank my pal Craig for helping me to butcher it. Once again, I'd still be outside hacking away if I was to do it by myself.
I'm getting the hams smoked tomorrow. Mmmmm, should be good.

Looks like a good clean kill  shot to me congrats WTG , So your going to bring ham to the potluck next Sat.

Congrats Juan! Well deserved!!!!

What's the weight on that big boy?

Two ham pics.

Joel, we were thinking about 170 on the hoof. It felt like 300!
