Lake Grapevine 2016-2017

Larry,

YGTBKM. If you buy me a beer I'll share some pork with you. PM me where you were hunting.

You worked way harder for it than I did. You can have it. Besides, we had our hands full with a fairly fresh dead buck we found on the way out in the dark. Meat was still good, and it's my first B&C buck ever. Headed to the taxidermist now! Grapevine never fails to produce.

Got to love the wild west also known as the Vine.

Sounds like it was an exciting weekend out at the vine. I've never killed a hog, but I've been told the big ones like that don't taste very good. Is that true or no?

Case by case basis, for lack of a better answer. Big sows are almost always fine. Big boars can be rank. Sometimes they're fine, though. My wife shot a big boar last weekend, and much to my surprise, he wasn't stinky and is eating great. Groups of hogs are usually sows and their young ones. Lone hogs are usually boars. So for a group, shoot the one that offers the best shot. For lone hogs, anything over 100 lbs or so runs the risk of being rank. Just my opinion.

That's because three times a year boars go into musk. If ya get lucky to shoot them when they are not in musk the meat is great. You found a giant dead buck? Pics or it didn't happen

Hehe, Ill be headed back north to put my Vine Tag to use. I had to wrap up here in Houston first. I've made 5 trips north and seen 1 8 pointer is all. My Vine honey hole has had 2 many intruders this season, I did manage to discover a new hole my last outing though! I've got 80 plus hours on stand so far there and i will admit its been slow waiting for the right deer. All bvets off now this late in the season, somethings gotta fall in Denton County soon !!! Good Luck to all ,,,, even the Hog hunters
