Florida hog's

ironman · 10-16-06, 10:40 AM

We were hunting this weekend at a place called guana river and it was archery season andere in our treestand and we saw a 120 pound black hog but it would not come our way, then it went in to some super thick weetland like area and we had our waterproof snake boot's on so we got out of our treestand and tried to stalk it but it was so thick you could barley see anything and the I hear about 8 yards in front of me some rustling around and then all i see is the plants falling down fast as it was charging right for me so I remembered what my dad said to do if one charges and that is to jump in a tree and luckly their was one so I jumped in it a it cliped my leg and ran right by and I was suprised that it came at at me and I looked behind me and saw it had been shot so that is why it was so mad. The later I guess their was this guy that captures them and put's then in new forest's and my dad knew him so we were walking out of the forest together and in a corner we saw a HUGE 200 pound hog and it was eating a this guy told us to follow him so he could catch it

I was SOOOOOOO scared but he got right next to that thing and they can't hear when they eat because they chew so loud so it could not hear him coming and he 2 feet from it a grabed it's back leg's and pushed it down with his shoulder and put his knee on the hog's chest and tied it up with a rope that I guess he carry's everywhere in his back pocket and put it in the back of his truck and left. What a crazy weekend!

Not really, if you can grab their back legs you can control the whole body.

I was so surprised at what I saw and that was in 2 day's I saw a 4 point and a 6 point buck and 2 does and around here a 6 point deer is pretty big and to see 4 deer in 2 day's is pretty good, but that was the first weekend and it was archery so we got lot's more to go.
