Hi everyone it's Luc. I just got back from my farel pig hunt Sunday. I had a great time. We got there and we decided to drive while the other hunters walked. All of the sudden the guide, Owen came running up and told us that there were two pigs a little further ahead. So we got to the pigs and the other hunter took a shot a t the 600 pound one with his bow and took it down with several shots. Then I used my Grandpa Ron's 22-250 and shot the 350 pound pig through the lungs it died almost instantly. After we got some pictures and gutted them we hauled the 2 pigs back to camp. Then Allie, the other guide, asked my grandpa if I would like to hunt a ram free of charge. I couldn't believe it. They were very generous.
So we went searching for rams. We found them, 3 of them. Owen and I decided to get closer for a better shot. We waited laying in cactus and weeds for the rams to separate themselves. Then the one Owen wanted me to shoot ran out. BOOOM!!! For a second it looked like I missed, but sure enough after a couple of steps the ram plowed into the ground. Another perfect vital shot, it either hit the heart or lungs. We got to the ram, it was nice a curl and a half. after numerous photos we went back to camp and Owen said that he was also going to mount it on a mount. I was so happy and greatful. I had a REALLY fun time. I can't wait for next year's hunts.
We will post pictures soon.(Warning Pictures May Contain Blood)
