[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 390495, member: 9736"] I have hunted in the area also and the hogs are bigger than you think. Saw an old boar that looked like a VW. He was huge. I shot his buddy that was really small until I got to him. Some serious work. Leave the shotgun at home but bring a squirrel/prairie dog/ wood chuck rifle. There is a huge population of ground squirrels in the area. Hunt hogs early and late and squirrels during the day. You will also need all copper bullets for the squirrel rifle. There are a lot of rattlers around the rocks and the areas there are squirrels. Don't shoot a hog after about 9:00 if you want to eat it. By the time you get it in the truck it will probably be pretty nasty tasting. The area is very hot and dry. The ice idea was great. Don't plan on hanging it in camp either, the nights don't cool off very well. Try the etips from Nosler, excellent accuracy. Someone said they are around 200 pounds, not too sure about that, the ones I have shot have all been the smaller ones of the group and they are around 200 pounds. The majority of them are more Russian. [/QUOTE]
