Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Knife Jamboree

Back from the GA hog hunt. It was really dry down there, & we had our toughest hunt ever. Those pigs had been hunted hard, & were far more wary than we've ever seen them. This was our 5th annual trip, & it proved to be a much needed break for all of us. The weather was unusually warm (up to 80 degrees), and it ended up being quite a test of (and lesson in) both perseverance and patience. We ended up hunting nearly 'til the last possible moment, and while we didn't limit-out, we weren't skunked, either.

Here's the one I managed to catch unaware. (A shout-out to 300jimmy for setting me up with that beautiful Remington 722). Also, while this picture doesn't show it, a 130 grain TSX launched from a .300 Savage at 15 yards, will totally obliterate the cervical portion of a hog's spine. My buddy took some shots of the damage, & I can PM those if you're really interested.

Let me know where to send it next.
