Daniel killed a wild hog on the Red Trail

Daniel has been leaving bait for a couple weeks and it paid off last night.  This guy had his last meal just a moment before Daniel shot him.  (My flashlight was shining on his large tusks when Daniel took the picture with his phone camera.)  We are guessing that he must have weighed a couple hundred pounds.  Don't ask how we do know that his head weighed 25lbs. The hole in the ground where they have been digging for the bait is about four feet deep. How'd you like to meet him on the trail some day.  Glad this one is gone but there are a lot more where he came from!

How interesting. I've been known to have the firepower necessary to eliminate large quantities of that type of nuisance. I also need to hurry up and set the youngest down the zip line record!!!
