That is "The Giant" Pine Mountain Ski Jump, they hold The Continental Cup there every year. Here is some more information on it.

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
