Thanks yall, it was a fun boar with a bit more story than what I let on... What I neglected to mention was the fact that when Lee and I finally broke out on the bay we were greeted by a "less than friendly" fellow with a 30-06
. I had questioned the host property owners on the "if's" of running off the property, and had been assured there would be no problem :
Well, we came out and this dude had his rifle handy, asking us "do you realize your're on private property?"... to which I responded.... "yada-yada-yada-, we've got permission with so'n'so ... let me catch my dogs and I'm gone
" Well, he was less than diplomatic as I went to leg the hog... and then(thank God) our property owners showed up.....
Boy did he change his tune! From butthole to best friend in less than 5 seconds
Threatening comments, became requests to join us in future hunts... (not bloody likely
).. ahh, the adventures of a hog hunter....
