Katelyn doing her part to control the hog population in Hagerville, Texas.  Shot with her father's 7 mag from a deer stand.  I wonder where I can get a t-shirt like that?  Oh yeah!  RIGHT HERE.

You may recognize Katelyn from such popular videos as THIS ONE.  Girl has skillz. ;)

Chase, the kid that caught it, whittled down an elm branch and started poking around under rocks. He felt it grab the end of the stick, and then it emerged from its hideout, where it was in the current letting fish wash into its mouth..(there was a one pound catfish alive in its mouth that we freed). He chased it into the shallows and speared it.....not bad for a 15 year old. He also shot and skinned a pig this morning.

Landon Marino sent me this photo of a big wild boar at a feeder on the Hackberry Ranch. I have a 36" inseam and have to take a big step to walk over that fence.

I have shot many javelina over the years. I decided to have a nice specimen mounted so that people could take the time to carefully compare a collared peccary to a feral pig. In the field, especially because of the stench of a javelina, most people don't sit and inspect this animal.

Another wild hog killed in the line of duty.

I came across this old photo today. The best part of the story is I was dove hunting, not hog hunting, as you can tell by my grandfather's over/under in my hand.

The other great part to this story is I was with two guys who were brand new to hunting. I could not resist laying the pig on the hood of his Lexus and drivng back to camp where he was waiting. It was his first time to see a wild pig, much less shoot a dove.

Frank's first time to shoot anything other than a dove. He was using a .12 Guage with 00 Buckshot. I was using my Great-Grandfather's Lever action 30-30 (Winchester). It was just another day for John Dent and his father Lynn.
