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.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

My heart just went pitter patter. I thought Pelosi had died.
Teaser!
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

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 Well, that backstrap is ruined.
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

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

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

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

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

You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

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
