I seem to recall it was shot in Australia, but I wouldn't bet on it. An old pilot, not a bold pilot, aka "the pig murdering fool" | |||

I thought it was shot in Turkey. But, I could be way off......but it was definitely a European boar. I saved the photos if anyone wants me to post them.

Ridiculous! That mere piglet was WAAAAYY too small to be a bragging size TEXAS HOG!  xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

Looks like a French company that either is a booking agent or outfitter in Turkey. My high school French are far from rotten but I think it was shot in Turkey. Nice pig, hell it would be a nice bear. | |||

Got the same email about Conroe. The Hunt goes on forever, the season never ends. I didn't learn this by reading about it or seeing it on TV. I learned it by doing it. | |||
