Black gun & black hawg. Dropped my son off at his favorite wood duck hole and I drove a mile down the road then headed in toward an area where several sloughs “spiderweb” together. I was 200 yards from the truck and I could hear a ruckus up ahead. Ain’t nothing else that sounds like a dozen five year olds raking leaves except bacon on the move 😃 First blood with the pawn shop Tikka. Came just as it is with the Luey 3-9. He was trying to catch up to a small sow to put the pork to her when the 130 Ballistic tip came calling. In my 40+ years of hunting he’s the first critter I’ve ever given heartburn that hit the deck right now and didn’t kick a single time. Old Case Trapper took him apart like a scalpel. It was my bright idea to leave the Honda at home. Thankfully I have a good stout 18 year old son that’s not scared of some elbow grease.

Excellent! That’s as good as it gets.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Granddaughter killed this buck with a Sako 270 with that load.

Way to go on the hogs Looks like the family recipe for my 270 as well IMR 4350 55 or 56 gr depending, and a 130 gr NBT. Piled up many pounds of whitetail with that combo.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
