These are really hubby's memories, so I will be inadequate sharing them. But I will try. Hubby was invited to go hog hunting in Texas. They aren't allowed to pic up the hogs or anything. They are there for pest control. But, they get to do it with high powered guns and helicopters, so... what could be more cool than that?!?
This was the deer that was a bit like a pet :) He came up to be fed and hang out with the hunters. His name was buddy.
And, as you can see, he was quite domesticated and appears to like the taste of shoe laces.
Its a pretty view, yes?
One of the fun things they got to do was shoot tannerite. When you shoot it, it explodes!
The gentleman stayed at a lodge, but had to travel to the nearby farms to shoot the pests. And what better way to do that than in style?
Seems like some pretty cushy digs for big rustic hunters if you ask me :)
This was the lodge. There was a communal part where everyone could hang out with.
Rustically decorated, of course. Hubby's room was the one on the right.
And several guns to play with.
This is the truck that hauls the helicopter around.
The hogs in the area are pests. They destroy farm land and crops, and procreate like crazy. They aren't allowed to pick up the hogs they shoot to harvest for meat, otherwise it is hunting. The permit they had only allowed for pest control.
He's a pretty handsome fella, isn't he?!?
They were pretty high up, and using pretty high powered weapons.
He had lots of fun!
It doesn't look all that fancy, but.... it carried everyone around.
Hubby was originally supposed to be home earlier, but changed his flight. Because of the weather, they weren't able to do their flight when they were originally supposed to, and if hubby had flown out on his original flight, he would have missed the whole point of the trip. So, he rescheduled, and was able to have some fun. But, the flight schedule home was not without its interruptions and delays. He was able to eventually get home. But it was expensive, and timely.
