Pig Killin'

[The Texan]

Boys,

Get your posts in to Gowdy prior to the 20th of this month. Have snookered Gowdy into coming down for a little South Texas pig killin'. Now some people go hunting, down here we go killin'.

Not sure if an Irish boy from Indiana will make it down here for 3 days, told him to go rent the Deliverance movie if he wanted to know what would be happening while he was down here.

Squeal like a pig Gowdy!!!

[gowdy]

I changed my plans. I'm going to Vegas instead!!!

A "traditional" Thanksgiving Texas dinner - ham????

[gowdy]

Probably ham hocks!!

[The Texan]

Gene,

Gowdy gets the coon stew, can't spoil him by serving ham on his first trip killin' in South Texas.

[Ballbuster]

"You sure got a purty mouth". Ned Beatty squealed like a pig in that movie. I'll have to introduce you to my pig call when we're at Cass Lake.

Texan,

Coon Stew? No wonder he changed his plans to Vegas.

I never been huntin' but I like how you put it - killin'.

On some other thread on FM I read a quote a guy wrote that was attributed to Ted Nugent - "You can't grill it 'till you kill it". Sounds like your philosophy too.

Ballbuster,

Saw Deliverance in the theater in High School and that scene is a classic. I, myself, fancy girls with nice round smiles. A few years ago I was fishing a deepwoods bay on a reservoir lake in Tenn and I swear the surrounding woods was right out of Deliverance. Plus I thought I saw that Banjo-playing kid at the Wendy's in town. Still makes my skin crawl.

[gowdy]

Yep. I'll be getting lap dances at the Olympic Gardens in Las Vegas that weekend.

I don't feel like having to wear my mud flap on a Texas pig hunt.

[genegodawa]

C'mon Gowdy, you can get a lap dance anywhere.

Where you gonna do some pig killin' in ILL?

PS I'm afraid to ask what a mud flap is and where/when it is normally worn!

[gowdy]

Gene,

A mud flap is that flap over a truckers tire. You wear one over the back of your trousers to keep unwanted guests away.

In other words, this pig ain't squeelin'!!!!!

[Brian Jones]

WOW, Mud Flap is now looked at in a different light!!

[genegodawa]

I understand now why Gowdy would rather be in Vegas.

In our cabin, "bung buddies" is a euphemism for "unwanted guests".

[The Texan]

Now Gowdy,

Can arrange for a nice lap dance with a javelina while you are down here, have promised all the farm animals I would provide them with Mud Flaps while you were around so they would feel safe.

Ok, I admit I am "city folk". I don't have any hats in my closet advertising feed stores, so I appreciate hearing explanations from the South. I have heard the one about "a cow p*ss**g on a flat rock" before, and now I understand "mud flaps" but can you please define "JAVELINA" for me?

[gowdy]

A wild pig.

Texans make house pets out of them. They also become very attractive to your average Texan after several cups of moonshine.

[genegodawa]

Well that gives a whole new meaning to "she's a real wild one".

[gowdy]

Gene,

From what I have heard the Texans get 'friendly' with the pigs first, then after a minute, two tops, they blast the animal in the back of the head.

I'll be doing all of my shooting from long range!!!!!

[The Texan]

Here's some information on Gowdy's new mate down here. Hope to heck this thing works on this forum.

[gowdy]

Man those pigs are ugly!!!!

[genegodawa]

After seeing what a Musk Hog looks like I agree with Gowdy that those things are ugly. I don't think "Pig Style" will ever replace "Doggie Style", except maybe in Texas.

[gowdy]

Gene,

I'm laughing so hard I can't even breath!!!!!!!

[The Texan]

If Jones will allow, we should have some nice glossies of Gowdy to post here in a few weeks. Have had a few run-ins with these critters while field dressing deer, they do have an attitude, but it can easily be changed when you rattle off a few 300 mag rounds their direction!!!

Texan

[genegodawa]

Gotta tell you this one: my computer guy is from Houston so I asked him what a Javelina was - he answered right away "wild pig" and immediately got this strange gleam in his eye as if he was thinking about an old girlfriend.

So, is this Pig Killin' like fishing? Costs about 10 x's per lb what it would to buy the meat at the store instead?

But you get a real good feeling just communing with Nature so you don't care? Is it true like fishing, there is no such thing as bad hunting, just some hunts are better than others? Instead of 300 mags, I say to make it real sportin' you should only be allowed to lassoo 'em. Kind of like when rifle season ends and you only can use bow and arrow on deer-but at least the female deer are usually protected from the hunters, not like Javelinas.

[The Texan]

Thought crossed my mind to let Gowdy give it the ol' Ted Nugent and put his arse out there with a bow and arrow set...get back to nature ya' know!!!

We do have wild hogs down here that will tear you a new one given the chance, some of the boars tip the scales at 400 +

Probably going to be doing some game management down here as well ( culling out does ) sounds cruel but it is the only way to assure good buck development and keep your numbers correct

Hunting does provide the same " high " as fishing I guess, probably even more, brings back the caveman mentality.... Come to think of it, Gowdy already swings a wooden stick around the office, beating the heck outta file cabinets when he is angry so he has the caveman mentality down already. Guess we could put him out there with a Louisville Slugger and see what happens

[genegodawa]

I don't need to go pig killin' to get me a new one tore...my wife does that for me every so often.

Don't really understand the "cruelty" of taking the does. Bucks are so much harder to get that they must be scarcer (How scarce are they? They are scarcer than a Texan in a shower stall) so I would imagine it would be better game management to protect the buck instead, right???? This "city folk" guy needs another explainin' please.

[gowdy]

Hey,

I got that baseball bat thing from Al Capone. A couple of years ago I told this person that I work for that he "better go home where it's safe". Then I customized a file cabinet. That person is real lucky that he took off.

I'll be like Rambo, with that big ole knife. Then lay in a cave and barbeque the darn thing!!

[The Texan]

Gene,

Every year, parks and wildlife performs a survey of the ranch and determines the quantity of animals that will need to be removed that year to maintain adequate food sources/stores. There is a ratio of bucks/does that they say is best and it almost always spells doom for does...

[The Texan]

Just spoke to Ted and he suggested the following equipment for Gowdy's first pig kill...

Ya'll think that is too high tech for Gowdy?

Texan

[genegodawa]

Hooey...that was a good one.

I say why not send him out with those tools.

After all, the pig is unarmed ain't it?

[The Texan]

This will be Gowdy's eau de toilete for the coming weekend.

He'll be the hit of the ranch once he starts wearing this...just a little dab behind each ear, some on each wrist and a little for the mud flap
