In this week's High Plains Outdoors, I'm wondering, "What game animal do you consider the most challenging to hunt?" I hunt everything from elk and bear up in the mountain states to deer and birds. I consider a wise older wild sow the most adept at avoiding humans, thanks mostly to the refined sense of smell. I've been watching this one wild sow for the past 4 months on trail cameras and occasionally see her in the woods. One of the fat pigs is my target.
In my opinion, there is no finer eating game animal than a fat wild hog weighing between 20 and 50 pounds.
I've developed a hunger for fresh pork bbq, and I'm about to load my Airforce 45 caliber big bore air rifles and go after this rascal. This old sow has proven too smart to get within bow range. I'll keep you posted on details as things develop!
