2 Big boars, one big shield!

[Yellowhammer]

Went back to the lease to check feeders and cameras. The biggest rankest boar was standing between the feeder and my stand waiting for the feeder to go off. The creekmoor paralyzed him! I got in the stand about 10 minutes before the feeders went off. About 10 minutes later, 2 does and a fawn came to the feeder down the back lane and I just sat watching. After 30 minutes I was just waiting for the deer to leave so I could get down. I looked back to the other feeder and another boar had came out and was eating corn. The dead boar was between me and the himm, and shot right over the dead one and made 2 dead ones.

Luckiily I remember to load mhy hitch hauler just before I left the house this morning, because I would have never been able to load them. Just just barely get them the foot or so off the ground to load in the hauler.

That made some nice vittles for a while! I'm new to hog hunting & we don't have huge numbers here, but I'm hoping to take one this yr..

We don’t eat big boars around here. We wait for a good sow.

When I got my new truck a few year ago, it was noticeably higher than the Chevy Z71 I had. Also, I was tired of always having to wash blood out of the back so I bought a hitch hauler from Harbor Freight for about $40.

That sucker has saved me a lot of work, because most of the time there is no way I can load some of these big hogs by myself and I don't want to leave them laying to rot in my hunting area. Even with it being lower to the ground, it is still tuff job loading them by myself. Would be impossible to get them in bed.

Nice bunch of hogs. Those buggers are hard on the back. Get a couple of pieces of pipe and a boat trailer winch. This one telescoped to hang deer but just for hogs you could put a short 2" pipe on the carrier tongue and 1 1/2" bent pipe to telescope in the socket.

Would sure save your back.
