Pics from my Texas pig hunt.
Here is the pics from my January hunt SW of San Antonio. We shot 8 hogs and 2 Javelina.
I shot 2 hogs and a javelina with 165 grain Nosler partitions out of my 30-06. My friend shot 5 hogs with his 300 RUM, and a javelina with his Mathews bow. Another guy(not pictured) in our hunting party also shot a small pig with his 30-06.

Thanks for the kind words gents.
Bob, I believe that javy weighed around 45-50 pounds. We did not have a scale handy to verify his weight before heading home. I left the specimen with my guide to have shoulder mounted and shipped back to Michigan.It should be just about ready to come home, he said it would take 4-5 months.

Calbowman,

The outfitter we used was Clay Pope of Pope Brothers guide service out of Stonewall Texas. He'll do a great job for you if you decide to book a hunt with him. Tell him you were recommended by Chase Huddleston. Maybe I'll get a discount next time I book a hunt with him.
Here is his web link. There are pictures from our hunt on his website.
