Poor Pogo. I got a report of a 3-legged pig in the local cherry orchard. A month+ back a missed a shot at him with my recurve (would have been 1st kill with trad gear). Last Saturday morning I busted him out of a tree line by the creek. He hooked up into the field where my partner was, Al is about 70 years old and said the only thing that was funnier than him running after a pig, was the pig 'boing-boing-boining' along and occasionally falling over.
Last night I went out with another friend, this time we brough his 17 HMR. About 25 hogs ran into the cherry orchard, and we came around them from the back side. Pogo went down with a since shot between his ear and eye socket from the HMR, it sounded like a loud pellet gun.
I estimate about 200 pounds live weight. I don't think there's any domestic blood in these local hogs, all are jet black with straight tails, big chests and skinny rumps.
I'm posting a picture of his rear quarter and missing leg after we gutted him. Looks like he was either born without a leg, or had an injury young since there was no scar tissue, etc.
The owner of the property parks RVs in one area, which is where we butcher in an old barn. Also, you can see the game tag on his leg. CA DFG regards hogs as big game animals, and clips you $18/tag to be legal. **** liberal politicians in Sacramento once again.
I'm going to look on TBH for whoever had hungry dermatid beetles, would like to make a skull mount out of him.

Congrats on the weirdo.
