In my opinion, Australia is one of the very best places to hunt wild pigs.

Here's a few of my best from the last 3-4 years. Show us your best.

i want to get back to Australia so damn bad....unfortunately its damn near impossible for someone like me to just get a basic 9-5 job down there and pay taxes to your government for a couple years and then leave.....

here is my only one so far, a sow taken in Tennessee on the annual 'fire hog hunt


pretty sure i have killed another in Texas, it was hit hard but could not find it in the brush

Hunting porkers on motorcycle like Mad Max is cool!

Nice toothy critters too


Hmmm maybe next campfire hog hunt will be down under

Damn at the cutters on those things!

bloodlines from Polynesian pigs.....alot bigger teeth for the size of the pigs than European/Russian boars....

Would love to have a skull from one on my desk.

South Jawja Swamp tank

Probably the biggest boar I've shot (made a nice skull mount):



Best wild sow I've shot:



Biggest boar I've seen shot on my place:



Heaviest hog I've shot, at nearly 400lbs (maybe partly domestic?):

id say definitely partly domestic

My two best......Missouri......Komga SA

Mountain Home, Tx:

180 lb sow in 2008



120 lb boar in 2006



Headed back down for another go at em on Friday!!!!

Love me some feral pork meat!!

From everything I see, Oz is hawg heaven.

It is root-hog or die in the Texas Hill Country. Plenty of rocks and cactus, but groceries are scarce. Lots of times the tushes are broke off or wore down.

Here a few that I've encountered over the years..........

JAPPF,

GWB

No big 'uns and no big teeth....yet

Here's a couple from the past few years

thankfully do not have them here.

If I've taken one bigger, I don't have a picture.








He was 80 kg, dressed, per the scale. A nice trophy for the last evening of an excellent hunt.

FC

From early (read: naive) days of hunting. In hindsight, pretty sure they led this thing out on a rope the morning we went out hunting.....

Here's wifey's! Right off back porch of the house!

Lovin that M88.

.308 ?

Um, you seem to have a feral cat problem too !

If you read this Stoney (slg888), show us what a big hog from TN looks like!

I'll play. Here's my first. Taken in Tennessee "within the confines".




As odd as this might sound, I think I would rather shoot pigs than deer. Looking forward to the Texas trip this spring.

there more fun when alive.

Yup 308. As for the felines. They are my thundering herd. See I'm a cat herder! . We had a real rodent problem. Now it is rectified! The kitty population is pretty stable now. It is kept in check by local coyotes, fast Fed Ex delivery vans and other means of attrition.

Not biggun's but my grandson help with the trapping of these porkers. I think we dined on these at Quemado in August.

Here is a hog my son got a few years ago when we were actively hunting them:




His first bowkill:





My prettiest hog; shot her in the head with my .350 mag. You can see where the bullet exited and creased her left front leg. She was facing me and I was in a stand. She dropped in a sleeping position.

All right. Great pics there, for sure.

We were having a family get together/BBQ about 3 years ago when all the hogs came rooting they the bottom behind the yard. Son in law, who had never seen a hog before busted this old boar with a .270. Notice white shirt!!! We werent expecting hogs to show at our little party. But what the heck! Hunt when you can!

Dat is the best hunting outfit I've ever seen!

that is right at the top of my bucket list!!

Hey Ingwe, one of them don't count (pardon my Southern grammar!).

I know...just trying to sleaze him in there...Im off this week to kill a couple more ( regular hogs) but we are pretty much gunning for eaters, so I don't anticipate any monster hero shots.

Ingwe-san,

Be sure to bring the appropriate foot-wear for the occasion of perforating porkers in Tejas........



leopard print is best,



but cammo will suffice in a pinch






Just Another Porker Perforating Fool,


GWB

Sweet crocs, Im packing right now, Ill throw them in with the thong...

Here's my best. Didn't weigh it, but my late best friend Sharpshooter and I couldn't move it more than about 6" at a tug when trying to reposition it for the pic. I'm guessing he was pretty close to 400 pounds.



Here's the second best. Didn't put him on the scale either, but did measure him with a tape measure. He measured 60" from the tip of the nose to the base of his tail and 32" from the bottom of his from hoof to the top of his shoulder.



John

My new best (190 lbs) w/ single shot to the brain stem from 257 AI & 90 GMX



10 yo son's best, similar weight, w/ 6-250 & 90 gr NBT



Us together (3rd one is his)

I bagged this tough old boar last week. The rifle is a Rem 700 in 308. A 150gn Nosler Accubond and a hefty charge of PowerPro 2000-MR did the deed.

I hunted with my older Marlin in 35 Remington shooting 200 grain core-lokts.

Sherwood

Biggest I've taken. Washington County Ga.

Another one from the Texas Spring Fling

223 w/ 50gr HP

Another fair hill country hoglet.



JAPPFT,


GWB

My one and only so far... 210 lbs, .338 Federal

Here is mine, taken in RSA in 2014. Crusty old guy!

Eric

Nice to see a G20 in action! I'm rockin' it's little brother - a G29.

Eric

A few as I work through my "Grand-Slam O'Ham"

My 10 yo son Elijah & me in Texas this past January. The two on the right are his; 182 & 168. The one on the left was mine which weighed 191. We had a great time.

That same evening I shot this one in the head as he was coming directly toward me:



And recovered this from his ham when I butchered him:



90 gr GMX impacted hog skull at approx 3k, pierced that hog length-wise, and weighed 40.5 gr when I found it. Pretty good considering how tough that skull is!

They're by far the best tasting bullet testing medium out there!

I love that mount!

Very cool haverluk!

Shot this one with a S&W mdl 36 38 Spl!



My son with a couple taken with an M1 Carbine:



My grandson with one taken with M1 Carbine:



My Daughter-in-Law with her first hog:

Looks like you guys had a blast Eric!!!

Damn, nice pigs guys! Would love to get one myself, but pretty hard to find around here. I know they are out there, they have been for years but just little pockets here and there. The few guys who manage to find them would sooner give up their best fishing spot or whitetail honey hole than tell you even in the most general terms where to find em. Someday hopefully I'll stumble into them.

Dads 2014...

This last one is my hunting partners sow that had no choice but to shoot since it charged. Was upset that it got kicked out of it's bed?

Here's one of the best ones I've ever caught with dogs. 3 dog team - 2 gritty bay dogs and a solid catch dog. We release him alive and well. Figured that old warrior was about the perfect looking boar hog and if we wanted anything to breed it would be him. Florida Hog from Manatee County. I'm about 6'1" 225lbs for reference.


Biggest one we shot in my guiding days in Texas He was a tank. 100% free range hog. 300Win with 180gr Partition. Quartering away took it through both lungs and lodged in offside shoulder. Didn't make it thorough the shoulder , was embedded about half way into the bone. I made the guy hold the rifle in front of the hog so that you could see he wasn't sitting a few feet behind the hog...he was really that big. North west of Austin in the summer of either 05 or 06 don't remember which.

Roger Rambo.

outstanding porker!

You're a better man than I. I've killed some pretty good hoglets, but I never wanted to get that "up close and personal" to see whether I could give em' a hug. Too many fleas and ticks here.

Good stuff!!

GWB

back at ya'




GWB

You win!

Here is one a buddy of mine took yesterday evening after a storm dumped about an inch of rain in 30 minutes. He wasn't huge - about 175 lbs - but he was one that had been cut as a piglet. He'll eat very, very well!

Ruana knife?

Yup.

GWB

Put hit away and use the Randall!

Nah,

No competition here, I do this for fun and enjoyment.

I enjoy owning and using knives.

I luv perforating and skinning porkers

and I've come to shoot much more with a camera than with a rifle or pistol.



and ya' never can tell when a pix of knives and "nards" may just come in handy. LOL



JAPPFT,


GWB
