May be needing some overload springs on the truck. Kudos, nice haul.

Sometimes I wish I had that many hogs to shoot but then again I’m glad I don’t.

It was fun, but it’s a lot of work too. Covered a lot of ground, and drug a lot of pigs out . According to the feed store scales it was 3256lbs. That’s a lot of weight to load. We hunted with a guy from Wisconsin a while back. He left us that winch to help load them . Makes the heavy ones easier, especially when you getting close to full

I made up a little boat winch into a tool to help me load them, since I'm often out there by myself. I can winch their head up next to the tail light and swing the bodies up on the tailgate pretty easy, grabbing them by their rear legs. I have never had to deal with that big of a load at one time though. Do you process any of the meat?

We keep some. Give a lot away. One of my boys and me like it, the other boy and the bride don’t....... we actually found a halfway house semi local that was glad to take it. They were feeding 40+ people a day. Somehow some dumba** town official got wind of it. We got reprimanded for not having food handling permits, and threatened with fines ect. Ignored them for a while, but finally got to be too much of a headache. Finally told the folks they could still have it, but they’d have to come pick it up at my place . But they could make the30 mile drive with any regularity. So unfortunately there’s a good bit that gets wasted. Nobody wants hundreds of lbs at a time in the middle of the night

I'm glad the winch is working for you guys. I started planning swivel attachment for it. Hopefully it will make your lives even easier. I'm up for ideas if anyone has any.
