Title: Pig Camp Songs
Post by: WAcoueshunter on February 13, 2024, 10:09:54 PM
I fly to Arizona this week for Pig Camp.  Meaning we camp, cook all sorts of wild game, drive side by sides, and generally have a fantastic time in the desert.
And some of us have javelina tags. 

We've been doing this for probably 25 years, long before any of us had kids.  But now there are multiple generations involved.  For many in this extended family, this is the first camping/hunting experience for the kids.  We've got kids coming from four States this year. At night, we sit around and cook over a giant, white hot mesquite fire.  It's glorious.  Since covid, Pig Camp is now like 30 people!  We might have 7 tags in camp, but most are just there to revel in being free to roam the desert with good friends. 

I'm putting a music play list together for this year.  If you were sitting around a camp fire in the southern Arizona desert with 29 of your closest friends and family, what would you play?  Reply back with your songs for the playlist.  Right now I've got lots of classic country and classic rock, Jonny Cash, Willie, Waylon, CSN, CCR.  Some newer stuff, Florida Georgia Line, Luke Combs, etc.  What you got?

Always enjoy eagles music when driving in AZ. Takes me back to when I lived down there.
Will be headed to Ajo AZ soon. I hope, we see pigs in town usually when there, never hunted them yet

Sounds like a good time for all. Since I listen to new age Jazz my choices would The Rippingtons, Keiko Matsui and Jeff Lorbor.

Cody Jinx is pretty good.
Whiskey Myers.
Aaron Lewis.

Really comes down to your taste.

Although this version is probably NOT young kid friendly.

Thanks all!  Pigville 2024 was fantastic!  Amazing weather, great time, great friends, and a great playlist enjoyed by all!  Much appreciate the input from Hunt-Wa.

My kid got his pig on Friday.  The shot was clean broadside through the lungs, we packed it out whole and gutted and skinned in a tree at camp, to avoid any taint from the scent gland, etc. We boned it out and ate the heart, tenderloins and backstraps around the campfire on Saturday. We didn't want to dry it out over the mesquite fire, so cooked it on a griddle instead.  It was spectacular.  Like the best tasting, juiciest pork we've ever had.  I think javelina are like antelope - taken care of properly, they can be amazing.  If not, they can be the nastiest buggers around.

Did someone say pig camp song?  Look up Collerina Road

I've got albums of them


Well I went down to the Collerina,
I saw a big pig I just have to had
The wife told me I should
Proceed with caution
But Oscar barked and said I like to take
A bite on that

And I say "I big boar, why don't
Ya come over here!"
Me and my dog wanna
Chew on your ear
Pick you up, put you in the
Back of my ute
We'll kill ya so fast it just
Funny, take ya to the chiller,
Make lots of money
Then we'll come back and kill all ya family

Oscar and I was running through the lignum
We got to the pig, it looked like a grizzly bear.
I gues it weighed about 180 kg
Oscar ran in but It tossed him up in the air

Whe were there, for about half an hour
Trying to catch, that big darn old pig
Then Linda turned up with about seven pig dogs
Grab that boar and put it in the back of our rig.

We said "hei, big boar why don't you come over here"
Me and my dog wanna chew on your ear
Pick you up, put you in the
Back of my ute.
We'll kill ya so fast it just ain't
Funny, take ya to the chiller,
Make lots of money.
Then we'll come back the very next day,
With a great big gun and a butchers knife
Photographer, that's the wife
Kill 50 pigs get them seen him
Every hunting Magazine
To all you city people if your dogs
Is looking bored
Take him out west where the wheat is high
And put him on a boar and just say!
