Hog Hunters from across the state participated in a competition sponsored by the Texas Dog Hunters' Association and Hunters' Harvest on March 1 and 2 in Halletsville.  Forty-two teams entered and 23 teams weighed-in hogs.  Congratulations to the C & M Team and Team Captain Mike Leopold from Halletsville who brought in three hogs that field dressed at 754.6 pounds!  The total donated by all participants was 10,000 lbs. which was distributed to ministries served by Hunters' Harvest and Pacto con Dios.  Thanks to Joe Lee, Director of Pacto con Dios in San Marcos, for your help in transporting and processing the meat.

Thanks to the volunteers from TDHA, Hunters' Harvest and Victory Home who cleaned and butchered the hogs as they came in.

The TDHA/Hunters' Harvest Hog Hunt Contest was part of the 2008 Wild Boar Hunting Expo sponsored by Wild Boar USA.  Wild Boar USA is a magazine that is dedicated to providing boar hunters with in-depth information covering all aspects of hog hunting and trapping. To subscribe, go to www.wildboarusa.com.  Thanks to Cody Weiser and his staff at Wild Boar USA for donating a booth to Hunters' Harvest and providing a great venue for the Hog Hunt Contest.

We want to remind you that there are ministries across Texas who are happy to accept your donations of fish and game year-round.  Many of these groups are feeding people 3 meals a day, so are in need of donations on a continual basis.  To find a ministry near you, go to www.huntersharvest.org and click "Where to Donate".
