Freshness all over.

This evening I will be cooking freshness all over I got up early and went out to my Fathers farm and picked some fresh Veggies. Including Bell Peppers, Yellow Crookneck Squash, Sweet Onions, Tomatoes, and Snap Beans It was in the Bean field where the trouble started. Now you have to keep in mind that I am not talking about a garden here but 400 acres of beans with runners up about head high and it is just getting light enough to see well. I heard some very loud grunting and squealing and said kind of to myself cause there was not anyone else there. "Self what you say we get some fresh pork for dinner to" and I answered myself and said quietly "Sounds like a plan". I went back to my truck and got my rifle, heck I am a country boy there is always at least 2 guns in the truck, I walked back down the row about a quarter of a mile and shot what I could see through the row of beans. An ear was all I could see of him so I shot that and all the grunting stopped.

 I went and put my gun up and continued to fill the second hamper with beans and then went to claim my dinner. It was huge and it was dead, my father said that I should have shot him closer to the truck. I could not move it heck I could not even roll him over to get a hold of the other leg. So I went back to the farm and got a tractor with a front end loader on it and came back with help and got a couple of ropes around it and picked it up. We have a complete butcher shop with a walk in cooler out there so that is where we went with it. Luckily this one had been castrated some time in the past or it would not have been fit to eat. I got it on a hanging scale by the hind legs and lifted it up with the hoist. I am 6' 7" and it was longer than I am with my hands above my head. It weighed 629 pounds. Luckily some one had castrated him some time back or else it would not have been fit to eat. He had 7" lower tusk and 5" uppers he was a bad boy that had a bad day. If I had not shot him in the head it would have made a nice mount but any way I skinned gutted and cut off 1 large ham 37 pounds worth and left the rest of him hanging in the cooler. So who's coming to help me eat this thing I was figuring with all of you post-op guys only taking 4 ounces each I could feed about 148 people today and there is only 6 home tonight.

Take any pictures?  If so please post them.  I have the same problem.  Freezers full of Vension and wild hog and able to eat so little.  I guess it's time to have a bar-b-que as soon as I start feeling better. Will

Lucky you saw him before he decided to chase after you. Shoot  me a few ozs of that.  A Bar-B-Que (or Pig-Pullin) for post ops,...sounds like a joke in the making. We'd probably need barf-toons instead of spit-toons. Thanks for sharing that amazing story with a vegatable theme.  

Damn, now I'm hungry for BBQ.    Need another 48 pack of SF popsicles.  Bobby

No I did not get any photos of this one Will but they shoot them that size out there on a regular basis. This was not meant to be a joke there Mr. Green I had just sat down to type it up when sent your IM. I too have freezers full of everything from Wild Hog, Venison, Wild Turkey, Alligator, and all sorts of Fish so one of these days I to will have to have a Bar B Que just to get rid of it all. May be even a giant protein party and get rid of it all at one time.

Men's Forum OH Conference at Dan's in FLA!!! We can do it as your 6 month post-op and down 100+ lbs party. PARTY PARTY You gotta set the date........... I had visions or you chasing the boar and the boar chasing you tot he car where you found the rifle and you chasing the boar.  Sic puppy aint I??

All I can say is....  DAYUM!  That's one big pig! Hell with castration. I'm glad he didn't get a Lap-Band!  I'll take a couple oz of that off your hands. Especially, BBQ
