Favorite hunting related story/memory: my sister and stepmom came home once with this great story about how they shot a 400 lb hog, and they only had the 4-wheeler to drive home. the hog was so heavy they couldn't lift it up onto the 4-wheeler. they tied a rope to the hog and devised a pulley system with a tree branch using the 4-wheeler to provide the lifting power. instead, it just lifted the front wheels of the 4-wheeler off the ground. that hog was not going ANYWHERE in one piece. they did a quick field dress and cut off what pieces they wanted and could carry, and left the rest for the coyotes and foxes.
