Dear Friends:
Just arrived from La Pampa, in the province´s south limits, 900 km from home, We visited our new rented farm for wildboard hunt pourposes . Tired of visiting Hunting fenced farms and pay a lot $$$$ to hunt released boars , My other three partners from BsAs and Me found this paradise. 10000 Acres with 16 km of River coast. (We can fish and tan on summer!!!). Exclusive for Us (Except for some Poachers that still are running under a lead rain, triying to re-float their boat that now looks like as a strainer ). On summer, we instaled five blinds , feeders, trail cameras and made some arrengements in the slepping room for a comfortable stay. In March & April´s full moon I couldnt visit the place, because We were hunting with "Billinthewild" in Uruguay with "The Great Lorenzo" and later in Corrientes. But this time I had the luck to come back again.
The other full moon My "Brothers" took 6 wildboards and divised more than 40 , No Reds, because is not a Deer area , but some Puma tracks.......
This time We had three days of rain but Diana blessed Me and I took a nice, big & pure female, I used My Custom Mauser Studzen 300 W-M- scope with a Swarovski 3x12x50 R-4 iluminated and Hornnady SST 180 grs Factory ammo, with a nice shot in the neck that passed first trought Her ear (See the picture).
But the best help was from a little Surefire Nitrolon G3 model with the 200 lumen Output unit accessory, that I temporaly attached with duck tape to the fore end of the rifle. Yes I know, that red tape looks horrible in the gun, but the previous custom mounting system failed to perfom (It blinded me through the Scope) so I used this "MacGiver" solution.
This amazing flashlight allowed Me to shoot in a dark night and under a heavy rain at 70 yards.
Thanks Bill from bringing Me that electronic wonder, and by the way, the Ramsey Custom Axe performed excellent undresing the wildboard ! ! ! , Thanks again My friend for that nice present and memory from You.
The place is a little wild, plenty of Mosquitos, Vinchucas, Bats and a new insect for Me; A big and long green criature named locally "Chirimoya" that stinks when You try to touch it!!!.
We fought a little with the mud in our 4x4 , frozen nights below 0 Cº , but 100% free range and wild . The other guys have to make the homework, because two of them missed two giant wildboards the first night, maybe they have to go more often to the shooting range , jeje, or check the gear. The other days We only saw small ones and females. Of course, BBQs, Jabali tenderloins al Disco, and some strange juicy and tasty "Horse Chorizos" (Sausages) made by Edgardo the ranch owner, with a fine Malbec.
I hope You like the landscape pictures, Kind Regards Guille.

My Dear Friends

Guillermo,

Between you and Lorenzo I've really enjoyed seeing some new country! What an adventure. Your red duct tape sure did the trick and that's a good looking pig. Thanks for the post and have fun on the new property. By the way, that's a different sort of head mount. Good boar and mount.

Matt

.....if that old Colt could talk?????

Guille. Congratulations on what looks to have been a fun time and a good hunt. Now the "backyard" photo. Maybe next year "when I am with you" we can shoot that goat and make a fine asado.....better than horse chorizos.....
You tell that old man that you are going to bring a truly young man with you.
Also check out the post on the South American thread. Looks like those Texas guys had a good stag hunt in La Pampa. Maybeeeeeee??????

What you show and tell us, is realy good hunt. I allways enjoy your stories and pictures, thanks!

Matts

Nice pictures Guille !!!!

But what I like more is your rifle and scope !! That's a fine rig to hunt pigs

The place looks very good, I am sure that sooner or later you will be able to bag a true monster there.

Take care
Lorenzo

Marvelous wild place and a good pure hunt ....what more can you ask ...perhaps bill wants a bird girl but ....for a married man like me its just perfect.Juan

Hey Guillermo, ¡show us the McCoy!. I don´t believe that you made all that travel and effort to post the picture of a little Miss Piggy. I suspect that you folks hunted some very old and big males and are playing with us....

No Ricardo as I said, I have not lucky with the "Padrillo" despite My efforts , only brings good meat at home... and the other guys missed twice !!! on and big tusk males, But I know, that Marcelo (Big ass guy of the group = lucky guy) shurelly will take a monster next full moon. He always is blesed by Artemisa.Take a look His last wildboard few moons ago, He was smoking when the beast appears at 20.00 HS!!!
To All Guys ; thanks for Your comments and nice words

WOW.... what a pig! Look at those great cutters.


What did Marcelo do, choke the pig tp death????

What's a bird girl????? For me a good jabili and a plate of excellent ravioli is all I ask.

As usual, nice work, Gille!
