What did you do this weekend? (more dead animal pics)

I had the privilige of spending a day and a half at a private ranch in Texas. He stocks rainbow trout in the winter, which I assumed were all gone by now, but to my surprise we caught these two 19 inchers. That was saturday, so on Sunday morning we woke up and went to seperate hunting stands and I bagged this boar. Somewhere in the 200lb range I'm told, but exceptional tusks. I'm pretty proud of that one, since I got it on about a 130 yard shot with a lever action 30-30. Anyway enjoy the pics. Oh yeah, to ensure the survival worthiness of my post I did start our bonfire with my flint steel! I'm getting the head of that boar done in a European mount, so I'll post pics when I get it back. That covers me, what did you do this weekend?


Right after the catch.


On a stick with his buddy.


Dressed up for dinner.




The native's blade is just over 3", so pull that lower lip down and those are roughly 3 1/2" tusks.


No world records, but I had a pretty good weekend!! Double click the photos for a slightly larger view.

Cool! I saw a nice hog, maybe 300-350 lbs, standing in the middle of the road eating a road kill squirrel late Saturday night. Dern near had a new hood ornament. He didn't even move when I drove by.

Cool pics and congrats on your boar! I spent the weekend in the Adirondack mountains fishing for brook trout and hunting turkey. Unfortunately, neither the trout or the turkey cooperated, but I had a great time anyways.

Nice one! That's one ugly boar, but to me, they're all ugly. Glad you killed him, looks like good eating!
