The hogs finally lost this weekend at Cooper. Me and a few of my buddies went camping and hunting Saturday, Sunday, and Monday out at Cooper lake and finally dragged in 2 hogs. Saturday we hunted all dang day a full 11 hours. Didnt see or hear a single hog all day. Sunday i saw a herd of btw 15-20 running right at me but that caught wind of me and turned before i could shoot and we couldnt get on them again but a farmer on the private land sure did heard 6 shots from over there. Monday was a perfect hog hunting experience. We didnt get started till 9 but within 15 minutes we were on hogs. My buddy came up on a group of 7-8 big hogs beded down and got one shot off. They came running my way so i took off after them and was able to get one shot off across a small channel at one that stoped for some reason but both of us missed them.My other buddy got on them again for awhile but never got a shot off. Then about 5 mins later we got a shot off at about 30-40 hogs but still missed. Then about 30-45 mins later we got on a group of 6 80-100lbs and we finally got 2 off them down. It could have been a massacre but i sucked yesterday at shooting. Had 4 run right across a road 20 yds from me and missed on 4 shots. But the hogs came back across the road 60 yds down and my buddy gotem good. All in all it was an awesome day. With in 3 hours we had 2 down and say at least 50 hogs. It was only my 4th time hunting hogs and i was the most expericend hog hunter hunting. But eventhough i didnt kill any i was finally able to see them and get some shots off. I will post some pics on here tomorow hopefully when i get them back. Hogs 2 Humans 1 at Cooper

Way to go!.... next time you need to kill one yourself instead of showing your buddies how to do it. The first time I jumped one I just froze never even shot. I'm glad you got to shoot. Next time you can try to actually aim :-)
Did you guys get them cleaned OK?

Thanks guys. Yeah Pat I think i need to spend a few hours out in the field practicing my aim. 4 hogs 20 yds no hits i need help  . I am having trouble getting my cd with the pics on, i need to invest in a digital camerea because the camera i bought didnt do justice to the size of the hogs we shot, but hopefully this weekend i will have them up.
