hm and i went out yesterday to bull creek....they (check station guys) said all that's come out was one hog last week so not to get our hopes up...hm made some smartass remark that "the girls are here now so we'll show the guys how to do it"....not exact words but same meaning...and we were off.
anyways...got turned around for about 4 hours but finally got to the road we were lookin' for.
i reached my area and hm headed south.
my head started to bob after a few minutes cause i was going on 2 hrs. sleep so i decided to stretch out in the road and take a nap ;D...an hour went by woke up with a sore neck so i switched sides ;D...another hour went by and then i woke up...went to the bathroom and listened to allllllllll my messages and started walkin' towards where hm was...it wasn't 10min. after i woke up that i heard some russlin'...i started to stalk the noise and saw 3 hogs...i almost didn't take one but decided not to play any games since i haven't recovered anything this season...i shot and dropped her...PERFECT shot...i even impressed with myself.
anyway..i was shakin' like a leaf...singin' my victory "i'm too sexy for my camo whoo whoo" song ;D when i heard hm whistlin'...i started whoo whooin' and runnin' her way...we did the lil high fives that we do and then proceeded to drag this thing....(i said it was around 60...hm said 138.)took 3 HOURS to drag cause we were soooooooooooo far from the check station...at first it wasn't that bad but then it started to just flat out suck...hm didn't want to gutt it cause she wanted to get the actual weight....towards the end i had to wade across this creek which is usually full of gators (one year we counted 38 in a 20yd. stretch)...i gained a new respect for hypathermia (sp?)) finally this guy came along and helped drag the last 200yds yards which was sooooooo nice of him cause by that point we were exhausted....on the way to the check station we saw these two guys..they had lost their truck and headin' the wrong way...thankfully we stopped or they would have froze to death and ended up in bfe...it was cool to help out someone when someone had just helped us....we got to the check station and had an audience...they audience followed us to the cleanin' stations cause they'd never seen women gutt a hog before ;D...it was soooo funny...only gagged 3 times. ;D
there was only 2 critters taken out and mine was the biggest. ;D (only 108lbs)
i've got pics but can't put them up now ds isn't on and cause i have to go truck shopping......i blew my engine up last nite while gettin' ice.
ps-she had been shot before cause there was a calcium build up near her front shoulder (inside)...never seen something like that before.
