Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Dead pig thread

Caught one this am, killed a coyote sneaking by.

Meat hog, taken with my FA .454 Casull.
Headed to TX in March with multiple weapons, including 2 Ruger .480's, to shoot multiple hogs.

My heart just went pitter patter. I thought Pelosi had died.

Teaser!

Here are a few from my property. I have some whoppers that I want to get rid of but the dang things get on to you pursing them quite quickly.










Guess this answers the age old question of whether a .300 Win mag is adequate


Tiny but a dead pig is a good pig!

Well, that backstrap is ruined.

Yesterday evening's little boar (73 pounds). He's destined for the crockpot. M1909 7x57 175-gr. Interlock over IMR4350. It works.

I got the grandkids on pig patrol. They love it. I'm gonna take them back to camp again next week and see if they can score again.












These are pic's of there first kills.

Can anybody play?

love those single shots!

WOW That's incredible Buzz, a .300 Win Mag did that? Did you shoot from a tree stand on a downward angle? I shoot Nosler Trophy Grade ABLR's in 180 gr with my .300 Win Mag, never saw a hole that big!

I swear I wish we had Pigs up here in Canada, your guys hunting pictures look like so much fun!

Do all wild boars taste bad? The only time I had some was in Key West at a friend's place, he had killed it in the glades, it stank up the condo when we cooked it, and the meat was super tough and far from good!

Happy Pig hunting boyzs, from an envious Canadian lol

Part of that depends on how you cook it. Another, much bigger part depends on what they've been eating, which could be anything. A hog in the Everglades could eat fish, snakes, rank vegetation, all manner of carrion--there's no telling.

I killed one in south Texas a few months ago that's far better than domestic pork.

Good eating size Rio7

6 months old? Looks tasty to me :o)

Gotta say I have seen some really beautiful rifles on this thread!

Be careful what you wish for! There is a down side to having the nasty things around...

^ ^ ^ ^ yeah-this ^ ^ ^ ^
You should go to your knees and thank God
Almighty that you are free of the plague of
the feral hog

They're fun and sporty and all that until you
have to start fixing the damage to your property
and spending money you don't have extra to
spend on re-doing plantings and filling and
leveling deep holes in pastures and hay meadows
and hope you don't drop a tractor wheel in
an unseen hole and turn bottom side up or
break an axle or hub or ruin an expensive
wheel and tire and tube, etc.

Enjoy going elsewhere to pop em while you
can before they invade your area
