re: Shot a big boar

BP I think he's just so tough they don't want to mess with the hide if they don't have to. I suspect when they run out of meat they'll start gnawing on the hide and bones.

I'm going out there later this week with the intention of taking advantage of that hunger starting to set in and see if I can't call them out of that thicket to where I can see them and knock a hole in them. Got a feeling I'm going to be successful with that.

I like that pic too Vol. So far I've got over 1400 pics and obviously there are others that are probably better than some of these but I've just kinda tried to give a representation of it in chronological order.

And yeah the Red Tail Hawks are cool. Got hundreds of pics of them. From what I can see, they were the first ones to get into that front shoulder. I had shot that shoulder three times with a 12 ga with birdshot but it didn't penetrate to the meat so they took their time getting to it but when the hawks started cutting holes in via those divots I'd shot into it, the coyotes got in there and started yanking and tearing and got the hole bigger so they could get their head in there. Once the buzzards got involved it didn't take long. Between the two of them they ate most of both shoulders in less than 24 hours from the top down.
