Feral hog

[idgaf]

Not much of a story.  I went to my northern az quail place and my shotgun jammed.  After 20 or 30 minutes of fiddling with it, I decided to go home.  

Driving way to fast on a dirt road, something crossed in front of me.   I stop and think pig, then I think, the biggest javelina in the world.  Then I think, do javelina have tails?  Then I think, must be a ranchers, but there are no ranches within 5 or 10 miles.  Then I think, I am smoking a tritip this evening.  F IT! and grab my truck pistol. 357

Several shots from the cylinder were solid and it fumbles back towards me and falls

Probably someone's pet that got too big or too much work, so they turned it loose. It almost looks like my in laws "piggy" but that one's too small.

Awesome job man!!!! To cool, I would just make sure the meat is well done.

That's what my wife thought.  I googled feral hogs for the area and saw some old post on here that says they have  seen them in the area.

Let’s go see if there are more in the area

Years ago there were feral hogs in the Cordes Junction area. That area became so populated that you couldn't safely shoot so everybody stopped hunting them. I'm sure they have spread as they are prolific breeders. Cook that meat well above 170 degrees. Watchout for trichinosis!
