Flew if to WF TX on Friday afternoon. Alex came and picked me up at hotel. I did bring my NV which made it easier to already have on gun. Did I tell you that they consider a mild breeze 20 mph.. He brought two of his buddies. I can't remember that the spotter name was on the first night but he is a first rate guy. Mark the other fellow kept me laughing so hard I am lucky to return with out a broken rib. Ok back to hog hunting. We drove all over N TX near the red river. Alex put us on some hogs crossing a field we got out of truck and went after them lost them in an old peach orchard. We went look several other places no hogs. We went to the pecan pile and saw about a dozen hogs. They would not go to the pile to eat. They were acting weird. So I told Alex is was time to call it a night. On the way back a hog almost runs into the truck. Dang we turn around the hog is turned broadside to me and I can't shot him because he is on someone's land we don't have permission to shoot on. Hog's lucky day. Saturday night we go after it again temps were way down wind blowing a snow front approaches. To shorten the story we found a big boar on the pecan pile. He takes off running when he see's us with truck lights on. We chase him across a field in the truck at a high rate of speed. The old boar stops I start shooting. Well after third shot on the run I knock him down I hit twice more. Alex had to shoot him twice more to finally dispatch him.. He was the biggest pig I have ever killed around 250#. I got snowed in and did not get home till today. The way home is a story all by it's self. If you want to meet some of the nicest people in the world and hunt with an expert guide. Then get to TX and go hunting with Alex! He has some pics of the hog my cell phone pics are hard to see. Hopefully he will post. It was the most fun I have had in a while.
