Title: Another Pig down
Post by: Hazcat on June 11, 2008, 12:22:34 PM
Forgot to tell y'all.

My boy and I went huntin' Sunday.  I didn't get a shot but (of course) HazJr nailed one!

He went with the outfitter in a swamp buggy kind of thing (big sucker) and was riding around when a porker came shooting out of the brush about 20 yards in front of them and started heading out quartering away.  The kid jacks a round into his .44 PUMA and nails him first shot in the head! :o  And this was from a moving buggy!!

180 lbs on the ground!  Good eatin' ahead!  ;D

I like father/son stories. The son is quite the hunter. Thanks Haz.

That is awesome. Nice shot.

You are not helping my lever gun fever though. LOL.

The NC mountain pigs are part Russian Boar (they claim) and are narrow at the shoulder, wide in the belly, covered with coarse black hair, curled tusks and very bad disposition. No, wait, that's what's her name, Democrat's ex- candidate? Anyway, one day I will get one of'em. Ruger Redhawk .44 mag.

No Pictures?   :o  >:(
Do you mean to tell me that  I lost sleep and sat up until after 2 in the morning.. listening to you blabbering about your hunt you were going on.. and I specifically told you to "Take Pictures".. of which you said "ohh yeah, I sure will"..  ::) ::)

And now you tell me you were off relaxing under a tree somewhere (most likely using your gun for a pillow)  while your son goes off and does the hunt...and makes the shot.. brings home meat for the table and YOU didn't even take a picture?

Next time I'll save my breath on asking for anything.. and just lay there and let you enjoy the sound of your voice...blabbing on and on and on and on..................

  I've never talked to any one who has actualy SEEN one, but they CLAIM there are boar  in NH. Apparently some rich guy had a game farm in the middle of the state and when the hurricane came through in 1938 it tore up the fence and a bunch of animals got away and bred in the wild. It seems reasonable because several guys I know have Killed boar on game farms in Maine. I HAVE talked to people who have seen Mt. lions in the Ossippee area. NH fish and game says no, but I've seen the ones that Maine fish and game have at their rescue shelter in Grey Me. about 75 miles away from there. those were hit by cars and treated by Maine F&G.

Pinch.  It isn't a single malt but it is very good and will actually please a larger number of scotch drinkers than a single.

If you insist on a single then Glenlivet.
Title: Re: Another Pig down
Post by: DDMac on June 12, 2008, 01:28:48 PM
Don't know the difference, but I'll gladly rely on your years of research. Thanks, Haz.
My dad was a Cutty Sark drinker. Pretty rough stuff for a 10 year old, but I had to start somewhere. Gave it up when I turned 21. Too easy.

I hate to barge in on all you skirt wearin' fellas but I think a good Bourbon would go MUCH better with burnt pig than some of that scotch. By the way...what's that little hair bag you fellers wear in the front of your plaid skirts? Ammo?

If it ain't bourbon, it ain't worth drinkin'!  Not that my location would prejudice my opinion in any shape, form, or fashion. ::)

I like a little Tennessee now and then too, but the bourbon would be perfect. In fact, if you REALLY want to burn the pig, throw some on while cooking.

Tom, remember, I needed a GUEST bottle of Scotch for the future Sis-in-Law. I'm more the Rum&Rocks guy. Part pirate, I suppose. At least we ALL like pig meat!! I'm not sure, but my grandfather said the pouch was just a man's decorated balls, cause there wasn't enough room under the Kilts.  :o Sorry, forgot the family environment. Forget I said that, you know, big Scottish balls thing. Anyway, I'm Irish.

As far as the scotch I was simply giving advise.  If it goes to whiskey, make mine bourbon!
