My answer- "Well Hell Yeah!"
WOOOHOOO!!!!!
Buddy- "Meet me at my house in 25 minutes. We gotta drive to the launch to pick them up."

Hogs were MUUUUDDDDDY! Dragged through the swamp to the boat. Shot right at the end of legal light for deer. Hogs had not been dead an hour yet when we picked them up.
After a stop by the Carwash, $3.50 later they were clean from a nice power shower...

Old man my buddy knows had his niece in the deer stand with him today. The hogs came out at 5:30p.m. and she wanted to shoot them then. Grandpa said lets wait and see if a deer steps out. But if not, and they return, then you can shoot them. Well, deer never showed and hogs step out. She shot them both right at the base of the skull and spine. Awesome! No bullet hole in the meat...and no bone fragments to deal with!
I got them gutted then drove to the firehouse....got them packed in Louisiana snow in the bed of the truck....
