Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Killed a big hog Saturday...

I've been trying to kill this hog for a year. I finally caught up to him this past Saturday. Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5 X 55 and 130 gr. Swift Scirocco's.

Nice!! BACON

That's a big 'ol boy!

Don't ya just luv it when a plan comes together.

I once hunted an Aoudad ram for 14 months before I closed the deal.

Success is sweet!

Congratulations.

Pork chops for dinner!

I'm figuring in the 275-300 pound range. I'll go back to the lease at the end of February and see how mother nature has cleaned off the skull. I think he'll make a pretty good euro mount.

Geedubya,

I know what you mean! I hunted a monster Aoudad in the Apache Mountains north of Van Horn for 3 years and never did get him. I think I hunted him harder than I did the mule deer! LOL!

Nicely done !!!!!

After them being trapped? or whatever I haven't seen any for about 3 years. Now on our Farm to Market road that runs in front of our property they're 7 dead ones hit by cars in a 1/4 mile stretch. Guess that they are back. This is in a one month period. We have a lot of buzzards, but they ain't touched them yet.

Our lease is in southwest Texas. 17 miles down a dirt road and it takes me 4.5 hours to get there from home. I'd sure like to trap them, but it's logistically next to impossible. I can't monitor and work the trap.

I only set my trap gates when I’m at lease. I leave gates open when I’m not there so hogs keeping coming in the traps or trap pens. I have feeder go off one second once a day. You can see feeder on top in the first and second pic. The third pic is a round pen, sometimes catch as many as 15.

Those pigs in the pen ate so much they had to take a dirt nap! Packy

Dubs pig He is big

He was a nasty sucker too. Fleas all over him and everything. He's by far my biggest pig on this lease so far. My GF killed a bigger one back in November. When I asked her if she shot anything her response was "yeah a pig, but I think he's kinda small". We got down to it and OMG the damn thing was as big as a bus. Easily over 300 pounds.

We have some on our property just south of Rule, Texas.
