We went to Boar Creek, Tennessee Colony. Had a great time. Turned out we were the only hunters there that weekend, so we had the place to ourselves. We were kind of looking forward to visiting with other hunters, but the guide and his Mom (the cook) were great. This place has had 600+ hogs killed on their property (fenced). So he buys hogs trapped by other farmers. He has a "Hambush". They turn purchased hogs loose after they are weighed. Hogs can go many different routes, but if they stay on the open road, they go by a shooting station. Guide designates who can shoot. I told him to let Phil (nephew) shoot at all of the ones that come by - I do not shoot at running animals. I can shoot long shots and am very accurate, but not running shots. They had a big boar and he was mean. Guide did not want him to survive, so he wanted both of us to try to kill him. Well, we both shot, boar went about 30 feet. We hit same spot - about 1/2" apart. So, the boar is both of ours.
