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.

Wait til you hear this one. . .I got an email from a buddy and the email said it was shot near Conroe, Texas!

Gosh, I love the internet! Next time around it will have been shot in NYC!

Ridiculous! That mere piglet was WAAAAYY too small to be a bragging size TEXAS HOG!

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.

The Hunt goes on forever, the season never ends.
