Hog Blog Friends Success Stories
OK, so this isn’t so much a story as a picture and a quick note. You may recognize this guy. It’s Matt, De Hog Shootines’ Gent’man.
Matt took this fat, blacktail forkie down south of me, in the Central Coast region during the second week of the A-zone archery season. In his email, he made sure to mention to all the cold-weather hunters that it was 104 degrees out there when he arrowed this buck.
Matt’s got a pretty solid streak running, with an annual buck, and any number of wild hogs and turkeys. With a little gang of young’uns coming onto big game hunting age, he’ll have his hands (and his freezer) full soon.
Anyway, I guess this is further proof that there are bucks in the A zone. I suppose now I’m gonna have to head out this weekend and see if I can find one of my own. Not looking forward to 100 degree heat, though.
Great job, Matt. Way to brave the heat and the rattlers. Phillip, good luck this weekend. The season opens down here in a couple weeks. I can’t wait to get out there!

Congrats to Matt! That is one nice blacktail. Man, I admire anyone hunting away from their air conditioner at 104 degrees. I’ve hunted elk in the mid 90′s and that is tough tough tough. Give me temps in the cold any day, as you can always add clothes but there is only so much you can take off, and the older we get the less our hunting partners will let us take off.
