Thanks for all the comments guys. You make me laugh. The guys that run this ranch have a good program going. They cross a pure russian boar with a feral pig and they end up huge. The smallest hog we got was 350#. The biggest boar on the place weighed in at 930#. Now that's a pig! I think I'd have some good backup chasing a boar like that around. The guide was telling me that a few weeks ago a guy shot a huge boar 6 times with a 300 win. mag and it jumped in the river and got away/sank. Mike

Man-O-Man what a hog!  I didn't know there were hogs in Utah.  You need a front end loader for that one.

Beautiful bow too!

Congrats,
Dennis

Congrats again on that monster. Mike, does that bow have 'static tips'? Can you share the name of the outfitter, please?
Thanks,
Bjorn

Bringin' home the bacon!! Great looking pig and great looking bow, Mike. I bet that got the heart pumping to get something that big in bow range. You said you shot it three times quickly after the rump shot. Did it just sit there and take it or did you keep chasing and shooting?  Awesome pig man. Matt

I heard that now they are seeing hogs on the Strip in Arizona. Can you believe that!
Nice hog Mike, and a pretty bow. Good to see that everyone's not going metal riser crazy.

Buglmin,I have a friend that shot a wild pig down on the border about 2 years ago but I think the gov. trappers wiped them out since then. My recurve doesn't have static tips. Mike G I have one of your armguards and really like it. I really enjoy shooting my own bows but honestly I think my Rose Oak bow "wildcat" I just got a month ago from Brandon Stahl is top of the class as far as recurves go. He made me such a pretty bow I didn't dare hunt with it, so I used my limb design and copied his riser for this bow so they both feel the same. That way I can hunt and beat up on mine and use his for 3d. If any of you want a comfortable, smooth shooting bow check him out. He has an ad going in the sponsor classifieds right now. Mike

Yea, but hogs on the Strip? I guess the guy found them a few weeks ago. Fish and Game told him that he shoulkd of shot them all. Guess there was a sow and bout seven little ones.
What you do with the meat? Hope you ground it up into sausage? Howed it taste?
