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.

Nice!

Gitter done !!!
Gotter done..

Sweet, I need to plan a trip like that. Looks like fun

"heartburn" Well played .

Nice rifle also. We need some of those type shops around here.

Outstanding write up! I'm kind of assuming a 270 because of the 130 NBT? Great pics!

Excellent! That’s as good as it gets.

Good deal!

Kill all the bastards, killed these last week.

Tikkas are damn fine rifles!

Bringing home the bacon. Well done.

Yessir 130 NBT - 55gr IMR4350. This load has shot excellent in a pile of 270’s. Usually a carcass along the bullet path too 🤣

I like 270’s, fug all of them that says they are gay. I load 56 gr of IMR 4350 with a 130 Bear Claw. Granddaughter killed this buck with a Sako 270 with that load.

Helluva buck! Is that a Hill Country buck?

Absolutely beautiful!

Nice buck too ;o)

Congratulations to her! And to you, proud grandpa.

Cheers,
Rex

Looks like you hit that oinker where you're supposed to.
Well done

Two dang nice dears , a fine buck but that gal looks like the real trophy Hanco you hit the jackpot with that grand daughter...mb

Sweet way to break in a pawn shop find!

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.

Nice! I almost wish we had pigs here.
