Are all the hogs this time of year that lean? or is it location. I've eaten a few that we've killed in Nov. / Dec. after they have been eating acorns for 3-4 months and they have had a lot more fat on them than the ones shown above.

That boar in west Texas was from Dec.

First it was very very old. Second not many acorns in the Trans pecos/ Davis mountains

I would say that’s probably just a regional difference like you said - food,water,age

Congrats on your success. Good times for sure!

Nice, what set ups are most of yall hunting with?

 

[SDHNTR]

Nice. I kill a pile of em every year too. Quick tip… skin out the lower rear leg to above the hock BEFORE you put em on the gambrel. Then you can easily cut off and won’t have a hairy dirty foot in your cooler.

 

[Samson7x]

You ain't living till you blast em with a MG.

Everything from AR15s, shotguns, 35REM, 270s, archery.

We fizzled out this afternoon. Didnt hunt.
Some of the guys might go out tonight with thermals. I’ll be heading home in the morning. The rest are staying until Friday

We have an indoor processing area so today we deboned a bunch of meat, ground a bunch and made 25lbs of sausage.

Hairy feet builds character
