Good luck Scott!! You looked very well armed for the upcoming job at hand. I took my last hog w/a .243 Rem.

Here's a little teaser for you and hoping you get a good hog, or two, or three, etc...

My pig I got this past 'deer' season...

I'm about 6'1" ~ 230lbs as a comparison...

Thanks again guys. Redsnake1997, that's a fine looking hog you got. Thanks for posting the pics. :thumbup: What knife did you use to skin it? I think I'm looking more forward to skinning one then killing it.

Right two sets of dogs. We call them Bay Dogs and Catch Dogs. They are all typically some sort of cur, cross breed, mut. Bay dogs you typically see some sort of birddog, hound, cur, mix. Catch dog is going to be a cross with mostly some sort of bulldog in it. Every now and then you see some one with a pure breed pit or american bulldog.

This one... It's a custom f/one of BF's own. Lamont Coombs. One of my favorite styles for skinning game. The leather is great as when it gets slimy w/blood it doesn't get slick.

That's a awesome looking knife. Looks like a deep hollow grind. Reminds me of a Randall.

Thanks Scott... this one is a very deep hollow, almost a flat grind. Nice O1 steel and cuts and slices well w/the blade shape. Yes, it is VERY reminiscent of a Randall... but easier to acquire and every bit as nice! I need to take some 'used' pics as she's developed a nice patina after this past years hunting season.
