my first pig jaw with tusks!!

Lockie second pig hunting story 

On sun 19th 2020 my dad and i were pig hunting in a forest up the farm and we were getting ready dad was putting the collars on the dogs and i was putting on the camel pak that's what its called and we drove up the. Farm and made it to the place we were going to start so we started walking down in the bush with the pig dogs. Called chang, zena, tac and porridge they ran off down the hill and then they came back so dad and I walked to the closest wallow and no fresh sign.


only old sign so we headed deeper down with the dogs and they were chilling. So we headed a bit further down to the next wallow and ate a bit of our sandwiches. That we packed with us and then we walked up the ridge next to us. Which was super step it took like 30 minutes to get up and walked.


along the ridge line and down again and we meet up at a long long river and walked. Along it for ages until we found like a pool sort of thing it was looking like a pretty cool swimming hole. For us to swim in but there was some big daddy eels in there and we had no togs and we were hunting not swimming so we walked up the side creek. For about an hour we walked up the left side of the dip and we heard the dogs barking.


So we ran and ran the pig was holding on and not squealing but soon it started to let some squeals out. Then i got there dad was holding the back legs of the pig and dad handed me the knife and i shoulder stuck it 3 times and it didn't die. So while the dogs were holding the pig i got some of the dogs off but tac stayed on for some reason and i turned the pig around and stuck in the. Heart and then it finally died it and there was a wasp major a wasp nest came out of the ground and me and my dad got stung heaps i got stung 6 times and my dad got stung 8 times and we both toughed it out.


The pig was white and we dragged the pig over to a rock and took a photo of the pig and it was my first pig jaw because my dad cut it out and gave it to me because there like trophies and the jaw was gnarly. As man so we walked back to the bike with the jaw in the backpack made it home had sprite with ice cream. Had a shower and put the jaw on the jaw shelf in the shed/man cave it was a good hunt.
