Title: Another Iowa Pig
Post by: stinkpickle on April 18, 2013, 12:02:21 PM
I was lucky enough to strike this sucker yesterday morning between downpours.  My expectations were low with all the rain and wind.  The showers let up for a few minutes around 7:00am, and I started cutting.  Within a few seconds, this longbeard and a jake came running over the hill, and he fired up in hurry.  I didn't let him play around very long.  I only got a couple of crappy pictures, because the rain (and hail) picked up almost immediately afterwards. 

I let him hang in the garage to dry off until after noon, then I weighed him.  He clocked in at 27lbs, 1oz!  He also had an 11" beard and 1 1/8" spurs.

You put the hurt on him!  Nice job man... The weather was horrible for sure!  We got 5 inches of rain in under 24 hours!  Are you floating away too?
