Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is having a good week. Went out last night to see if I could find some Hogs and ended up seeing close to 60. I had 3 clients this morning and we got into some good hogs. The first guy shot a really nice boar at 75 yards, left him and grabbed another client and we went after the same group and he missed 3 times. The first Shot at 150, Second 165 and third at 170. So we loaded up, Driving about 3 minutes we came up on a little boar hanging with the cows, we jumped out and worked are way into 100 yards set the sticks up, the hog cleared the cows, I gave the go ahead, first shoot miss, reload the second shoot found its mark, two hogs down. The night before I had found a good group of hogs in a flat. I was hoping that they were still there, and when we got into the flat we saw a lone boar walking up the slope, I grabbed the client that missed three time, we took off on a stalk, we came up over a little rise and another bigger boar was in the flat, so we changed it up, crawling up to a rock, hog was at 30 yards, first shoot miss, second shot miss, hog gone. So I told him that I would give him one more opportunity and asked him to use another gun. We went to a spot that I knew held some hogs, a really nice wet drainage. Working are way down the road a nice boar was coming up the drainage at us, we stopped, I got the client set up on the sticks, and he made this shot count 135 yards (Three hogs dead)!

Cool little story Neil. Luckily you had enough animals to get all three guys filled out. I am sure these guys will be talking about there adventure with you for weeks! ;D

Luckily the third guy had enough ammo! Bet that barrel was hot!
 
Lungpopper and I are on our way back from Neils right now. It was an amazing hunt and he is truly a nice guy and a great guide. We are going back for sure.

Definitely a place to put on your near future bucket list!

Looks like a blast. Any clues as to pricing? That (and the wife) usually determines if I can go or not!

Neil lists all the hunt prices on his FB site. I didn't wan't to copy/paste it here because I imagine they could change.

I'm later to this thread but damn Neil you have some patience for those hunters to miss that many times.......I guess boar fever is thick!
