Well, it all started about a week ago when a couple buddies and I started to plan a go at some hogs.
We all got together about 2 pm this afternoon to head to our stands. As we started down the road, we ran into some problems. It was flooded. You could not see the road and we still had about 3 miles to go. BUMMER!!

Well with the plans looking like a bust, we decided to scout a new area instead of wasting to day. After about 3 miles or so of walking we had almost made it back to the truck. We had all relaxed and were shooting the bull when something caught my ear. It was a grunt!!

We all went into super stealth mode at once. I told one guy to stop there and had the other follow for about 40 yards and stop, then I went about 40 more. The pigs were headed right to us. Perfect!!

All of the sudden a huge pig busted out of the woods about 60 yards past me. I could still hear pigs in the woods and brush and decided to go in. I spotted a friend moving farther down the road in the direction we came from and the other on point looking just ahead of me at the place the noise was coming from. Things were looking good.

As I started moving closer, John, the guy that stayed close started to move in also. We were closing in on both sides now...somebody is gonna shoot.

I spotted some black in front of me. It was close!! John and I were right in the big middle of them pigs and didn't know it. That is when all heck broke loose.

To make a long story short, when it was all said and done, I got 3 and John got 1. Both of us, however, got bit. We are gonna be fine, but it could have just as easily gone the other way. We are at home now, maybe a rest is in order.

Eric, the third guy, took some pics. I will post them in a bit when I can load them, but keep in mind, they are not for the weak at heart.

God bless,

Nathan, glad you are o.k.  I double-lunged a nice boar 2 weeks ago in w.TX at 8 yards.  He put a death charge on me quick & before I knew what happened he knocked me on my butt & I still have the mark on my a_ _ to prove it.  It was pretty crazy.  See the Mule Creek thread by Shaun.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Nice story! You sure had me going. I,ve been hearing lots of talk about litters this year.Mississippi prohibits transporting them live. Use to be lots of guys would catchem that size and pen raise them. Our public swamp land closes at a certain river stage and keeps hunters from capitalizing on stranded critters. Sure is a good time to killem though.

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
