I also checked out your photo bucket page Manny.  As always I enjoy reading about your hunts and love seeing your see pictures. The two videos help place me along side you due to the perspective, and that moment of squeezing the trigger. I swear I could smell the jungle, and the pigs as they root around you. I hope to one day hike through the woods, set up a blind and hunt pigs with my Sumatra. You sir, are providing much encouragement.

Though I eat lots of meat, there is something so poignant and sobering watching an animal lose it's life. I greatly respect your serious approach and laser focus on the task at hand. 

The other day I watched my wife take the life of the rooster that made into our latest batch of hens. It was essential to protect our right to keep our flock and that rooster had to go. While we are allowed hens in city limits we are not allowed roosters. I had already started to grow attached to this beautiful creature, and so we did no happy dance as he did his last dance in the killing cone.  Killing a creature that will end up on the dinner table in one form or another keeps things in prospective.  You show us good example. Thank you.

Last weekend I smoked up 17 pounds of Pork Shoulder. I took about 12 pounds of that to work to share with my co-workers, and kept the rest for home.  I will celebrate your hunt this morning by enjoying a plate of this pork and imagining it came from a mango and guava fed piggy that you harvested!

Thank you!

Well executed Manny.  Did I miss where the photobucket page was listed, or do some of you guys already know where his is?

OK, Here we go My friend is still trying to download video 1 when he's finished i'll put it on.


So, I got to my blind around 12:30 and the day before I had soaked 2 ziplocks full of corn in fresh squished mangoes, I spread that corn at the intersection.

I had my Storm .357 with EPP/UG



by 2 PM a young boar and sow come trotting down from the trail at my 11 O'clock, good thing I spread that corn because otherwise they would have kept on going never to be see again

When I 1st put the camera on them I wasn't intending to shoot but than I figured it could be my one an only chance.

I'll put that video here when it's avaiable..................



Here the young Boar







At this point I wasn't ready to give up a hunt, it was way to early, I'm used to sit all day in blinds like that.

about an Hour later an other sow came in but I had no intention of shooting her, I just watched has she ate, having a smaller hog eating peacefully might bring in a big hog that is hanging back.

sure enough this nice boar come charging down the slope from my 3 Oclock, displaced the sow and started eating, this time I had all intentions to shoot













At this point the hunt at the blind was over, but Hunting wasn't

after a Packed up i set out for my favorite type of hunting, slow quiet stalking,...the combination of soft ground, big boulders on the river bed and my favorite stalking shoes, the All Star Converse made for virtual silent going.

eventually I got to a spot that I had hogs all around me on both banks in the tall grass.

Once I got in the mist of them they started to freak out, but they didn't know where I was, just that something was very wrong, in the excitment I forgot to turn the camera on, than I remembered, you can see a hog poking his head, if he gave me one more second I would have taken the shot, later you see him again running away off to the right, few seconds after I turned the camera off a good sized one exploded out the tall grass behind me at took off down the river bed




Love those type of exciting hunts

A GoPro camera on my head when I was in the river bottom would have really given a great prospective

WOW! You are the man! Good shooting, awesome scenery! Thank you so much for "taking us along" on your hunt.

I really enjoyed your reaction to the dropping of the large hog. Or should I say the lack thereof? I see these professional hunters hootin' and hollerin' after they drop an animal and you didn't do that. It's all calm, collected focus with you. I like it!

X2!! I hate when the pros start jumpen around like a bunch of idiots. Good job Manny!!

[Nomadic Pirate]

I've gotten a lot of complains over the years because I look so serious in my Trophy pictures, to be Honest, I just don't feel like jumping up and down and smile when I just killed something.

I absolutely can't stand those Hunting shows where they do that,...JMO

the Adrenaline was running pretty good when I shot that Boar,
just the fact that came charging down like that and the shot was taken pretty quickly, I was still in a full adrenaline rush at that moment

  Thanks for another great hunt and victory dance is for football touchdowns not hunting
