Capt. Don Martin Report post Posted March 4, 2014 Well the final results of the Annual Arizona Wildlife Outfitters 2014 Big Pig contest are in. I hold this contest every year for friends, family and clients of AWO. We weigh only pigs taken in Unit 18B. Hunters must be pre-registered in order to participate! If they had two tags they could enter TWICE, but had to pay a separate fee for each entry. The "contest" was open to to archery hunters, HAM hunters, Juniors hunters, and general rifle hunters. ALL PIGS MUST BE FIELD DRESSED, NO HEART, LUNGS OR KIDNEYS! ALL PIGS MUST BE WEIGHED ON THE OFFICIAL RAPALA 50 LB SCALE! We had 29 participants this year and paid out 6 places. 12 pigs were weighed in. It was interesting to note that Jay, Ryan and Alan Chan all had TWO tags and they filled them all! Those boys know where they pigs are and how to field judge them! 1) 42 lbs 15 oz. Sow Unit 18B Alan Chan (general hunt) 2) 42 lbs 5 oz Boar Unit 18B Ryan Chan (HAM hunt) 3) 42 lbs 2 oz Sow Unit 18B Christian Overhulser (Juniors only hunt) 4) 40 lbs 2 oz Boar Unit 18B Gary Martin (HAM hunt) 5) 38 lbs 9 oz Boar Unit 18B Jay Chan (general rifle) 6) 36 lbs 13 oz Sow Unit 18B Cole Bruns (Juniors only hunt) Now I know that these weights are not comparable to pigs taken further south, but are average field dressed adult pig in this unit is about 32 pounds. If you hunt 18B and want to get in our contest next year, just stop by camp and register BEFORE you go hunting! Lot of fun!
