you guys are just lucky this is all traditional, or i would turn "killer" loose on ya.

Chunky · 01-28-2004, 09:10 PM

wow i got the attachment to work, cool, now you guys have to tell me how to get one of those ugly disembodied heads on my posts. i have an ugly head now i need to know how to attach it.

as far as the bets go, i am up for anything. just call me the house, as in what have you got bet against the house, and you can sometimes beat the house, but the odds are always in the house's favor. :lol:

if we do change to most total weight, you guys may have to take some of my hog meat. i only have an F250, and don't want anything to go to waste. :lol:

really looking forward to the hunt.

Oh no Chunky! No secret weapons or pinch hitters. Just stick flingers.

As for the disembodied head. Mine is a pic that Spike had and he stuck it on there for me. I have no idea how to do that stuff. Heck you're one up on me just for posting the pic.

We pause for a moment of inspiration:

And...

LostHawg · 01-29-2004, 08:02 AM

Sorry guys, I had to throw them in there. Notice that Errol Flynn is checking the back tension of Howard Hill. Notice how intense is the expression in Fred Bear's eyes.

Cool stuff.

Now, remember when you are butchering my hogs, I can't eat sausage. So, I need to save as many cuts as possible. If you folks want the sausage meat, just say so. I don't think I have room for 2500 pounds of pork anyway.

Let's see, we're allowed 10 hogs per day at an average of 100lbs. I better get some more coolers! 8)

Great pics Losthawg. I've been reading Fred Bears biography and hes was deffinately an exceptional man.

That bow howard is using must be a stage prop. look how far back the string is on his face. How about the hog with the least wieght. That is for my bothers from back east!! :lol:

Ronny · 01-29-2004, 06:41 PM

I heard that.

Chunky · 01-29-2004, 08:19 PM

checking back tension huh? well there will be no checking back tension at the hunt! no, no, no, there will be none of that. :lol: :lol:

LostHawg · 01-29-2004, 10:06 PM

He was shooting actual broadheads at the stuntmen, so I suppose he did gear down a bit. He generally hunted with 70# up to even over 100#. Took 3 elephants in his time. I'm sure that took some KE. Amazing, the stuntmen actually WANTED to be shot by Howard. Go figure. :?: :?:

The smallest hog? Sure, I reckon Tomme needs to win something. :twisted:

And, you're right Chunky. No checking for folks back tension. :shock: :lol:

Chunky · 01-30-2004, 08:59 AM

the more i think about it, the more i like the idea of the biggest.

never been a fan of the "wack em and stack em" philosophy. I am still in regardless of what we decide.

i am good with the smallest gets something, if we totally exclude tomme he will just go back to compound for good.

thanks for the pic's losthawg.

I've got lots of "kin" in arkansas and can call hogs!

Tomme · 01-30-2004, 04:01 PM

Well I see there has been some loose usage of my name here!

Just because I'm accurate enough to hit those small porkers (unlike some on this thread that can only hit the big ones) several of you have seen fit to make slanderous statements. That does it, I'm really practicing now. I'm working my way up to three arrows a day. I might even have to put that Pearson away and use a better recurve (should I go with an Indian or a Shakespeare?).

Pauls suggestion of most poundage was an interesting idea, but I don't want to work that hard. Besides I'll be working the check out booth while a lot of you will be out hunting (Hunting defined as visiting the pig auction in town), so I'd vote for biggest hog for the main prize. I'll pick up the trophy for whichever of you takes the smallest. I think a bag of pork rinds would be appropriate, don't you? Maybe a small bag.

LostHawg · 01-30-2004, 04:54 PM

Okay, I like the biggest and smallest the best as well. What say you?

Tomme, I must confess, you just may have a point. It is more difficult to shoot the smallest. Provided you shoot one from your stand. But, I think we should make it a rule that the pig has to be free ranging and outside the 3 foot range.

I like pork rinds. Like cracklins better though.

Linedawg · 01-30-2004, 06:48 PM

OK, biggest hog gets the cement piggy, smallest gets the small bag of pork rinds. What about the first hunter to bring in a hog has it cleaned and quartered by the hunters? This should get interesting.
