Alabama man shoots 820 pound feral hog!

After his retirement in 1977, my grandfather  began to hunt and trap as a hobby.  Before retirement, he was an avid coon hunter.  He lived for cold nights tracking a coon along the creek banks of central Virginia with his trusty hounds.  Last October, that same grandfather turned 103 years old.  In November, he climbed his 20′ treestand and took a huge 8 point whitetail buck with his CVA muzzleloader.  As the oldest active hunter in the US, Papa loves to hunt even though he has slowed down some.  For Christmas, my Dad gave Papa a hog hunt.  Though the weather wasn’t very cooperative, Papa made the trip and really enjoyed it.  I think the guides enjoyed his company more and even offered to let him stay a couple more days or come back at a later date.  Papa declined but still talks about the trip.
