[QUOTE="JOHNNIE WALKER, post: 1002391, member: 67011"] I made it back home yesterday. The third day of my hunt was interesting. Nothing in the morning. The guide seemed really disappointed that I didn't see anything. But that evening I saw 7 or 8 and shot 1. So that's 3 pigs on a 3 day hunt. I don't think that's to bad. I've spent 2 weeks running through the mountains hoping to find just one elk before so I think the hunt was a success. I really wish it wasn't so far of a drive. The vitals a hogs seem to be a little further forward than other game so don't be afraid to shoot the shoulder. The one I shot through the shoulder died in its tracks, the others I instictivly shot directly behind the shoulder and did not get the results I wanted. They are really tough critters. Abilene, Tx is most deffenently NOT "the prettiest town I've ever seen." But there's a place there called Joe Allens that had the best ribs I have ever had. Ziegen Bock beer is a Texas thing and is really good. The guide bought me a six pack to try. Texas Mosquitos are like rabid hummingbirds so bring bug spray. I stayed at the Deluxe Inn which was actually kind of nice for a hole in wall hotel. It was clean. It's all one level so I just backed my truck up almost to the door and tailgated most of my meals. All in all, I had a great time. I hunted with guide Landon. He was a really nice guy. Honest, family man, hard worker, and wasn't constantly trying to feed me a line of crap.
