Title: Southern Style Bacon
Post by: tippit on January 11, 2012, 08:02:00 PM
I've been down at our little horse farm in Aiken for the last 2 weeks and getting ready to head back to Boston in 24 hour....to New England Cold!  The weather has been superb like late spring.  I got my forge completed & up running so Benjy & I headed down for a little Southern Comfort hunting the past few  afternoons.  Benjy shot a hog the 2nd night and I got lucky last night with this big boy...tippit

Scott,
He stunk pretty bad but Benjy smelled worse when he got a dose of Boar Urine during our skinning!  I grilled a little up tonight and it was great with no strong flavor.  It even passed to Molly test  :)

Bill,
I flew down with only my carry on so all my Southern Bows were already in residence in  Aiken.  My Zipper is still shivering in Boston   :eek:   But Benjy took this nice hog with your Zipper.

Awesome guys....we seem to be getting more and more hog activity lately. A buddy of mine has land in Barnwell that is just starting to show signs of them. Hope to get one soon.

I'll bet April had some encouraging remarks for you, Benjy. Smelling like an old boar.

We didn't have a scale but he is certainly in the 200# range maybe on the + side.  

For those weaklings out there, I shot him with a 60" 42#@28 Griffin Carbon and a Beman 500 arrow with 250 grained 2 blade into the chest.  His shield was quite impressive as were his choppers...tippit

Picture doesn't show the tusks well but believe me they are big & sharp.
