Awesome! Yea, should be able to achieve relatively nice air from that one.

Hitting it from the opposite direction with say, - a CR500, 5th gear WFO,- you may make it to the lake.

Either way, it would be a trip.

That's because you will never catch my butt anywhere near the top of it. My friends wanted to climb it one Saturday afternoon and I got have half way up and said screw this I am going back to wait in the car. I was also wearing cowboy boots so it made going back down interesting to say the least........

I'm not a hunter so I have no idea. They are such a nuisance, you shouldn't have to have a license.

The last time I checked they were considered a nuisance animal and not state regulated. I am going to bring a rifle or two when we get t chance to get to Texas and go do some hog hunting if I can.

We had seen sign around the big pond, so knew they were around, but these were the first we have actually seen. What was strange, I did not see any small ones, they were all about the same size. About the size of that one in the picture
