A friend and I went hunting with "Trapper Dan" on Sunday. Mike and his crew were great - the stand hunt was unproductive, the first set of dogs over-heated, and Mike got another set of dogs in to chase the oinkers. My buddy was just going to tag along for the experience, but he ended spearing a hog, too. 
I didn't have the means to process the hog myself while down here and ended up taking it a local processor. The guy kept going on about how good the meat looked, how clean the meat was, and the neat the quartering was.
Nice going :toast
That's outstanding, 36fan! It was cool to meet you and your friend, and I am glad trapper dan got you on the hogz! He told me Sunday that y'all had speared the hogs, and I was hoping you'd post the story.
PM me your contact info, and keep in touch here, please. You may live in Indy, but you're now part of the FOHAF Pig Posse! So is your buddy, so talk him into joining us here!
Nice hogs! Wish I could have stayed the whole weekend.
Well, i'm back at home now. I managed to fit my wife, three kids, my hunting gear, all of their stuff to spend a week in FL, a cooler full of hog meat, and a smaller cooler with a hog head in it all in a Ford Fusion for the return trip. It's a good thing I've taught my wife how to pack light over the last 20 years! The road trip back was a safe journey even though my oldest son threw up in the car, and the trip up I-75 was not enjoyable. There was a wreck near Ocala that had I-75 closed, and then, of course, the trip through Georgia was awful.
We ended up jumping of the interstate and heading west to 41. My kids loved it because we were on "Bucksnort Road" in Butts County. While we were cruising up 41, the Atlanta Motor Speedway appeared in front of us. All told it took us about 8 hours to get through GA, but that also included a fuel stop, lunch, and a bathroom stop. Next time I come down to FL I am going to go around GA!
We'll have to see what I can coerce my wife into letting me hunt the next time she wants to go FL for Spring Break ... I'm thnking maybe a gator hunt...
:innocent
