My 5 year old loves peppa the pig. So when I brought these home she wasn’t as amused with my analogy as her older brothers. To beat it all she was wearing a peppa the pig shirt that evening!!!

Neighbor told me his turkey hunting spot was being visited by some pigs. Said if I wanted I could go hunt them till turkey season. So I jumped at the offer! Who wouldn’t

We have pigs here. But it’s not like Texas for sure. And they are hard to locate and typically in rugged country

Side of a mountain that’s part of the smokies called bluff mountain. Pretty steep, thick, and rugged. Lots of laurel thickets

Caught some fresher tracks in the mud and snow, and soon found mom and 3 babies in a small oak flat about 3/4 way to the top. Little Snow on the ground and good wind so stalked to 40 yards before the shooting started.

One of the little ones got the heck outta dodge really fast. The other two ran in circles squealing for momma until they got popped

The one that got away I tracked in the snow to a thicket. I started grunting, snorting, and squealing like a retarded pig( which was the best I could do). Wouldn’t you know it started responding, but wouldn’t come out in the open where I could see it. I could hear it running back and forth in the laurels and grunting at me.

3 outta 4 ain’t to bad I would imagine. On a muddy brand digital scale momma weighed 203lbs field dressed. Babies 26lbs guts in

Rifle is a Remington model 7 300blk with Barnes 110 tac tx. Suppressor dead air sandman S.

Strong work sir. I can never seem to mop up the whole mess of them either, there’s always a smart one or two in there.

Nice work! Spot and stalk in the daylight no less!

Nice work on the vermin sir! Like your rifle/suppressor setup too.

Roast the babies whole.

Thanks

Was a very fun hunt

Kid- seemed like the one little on that got away had some intelligence compared to siblings. The 3 I killed were all females. Which helps keep population down at least a small amount I hope

Gonna bait the area pretty hard and try to get a couple more if I can

Jgraider- bought the gun for my kids honestly. Low recoil, really quiet suppressed, and really good for game out to about 150 yards. The Barnes 110 tac tx works really well on deer!

Here is one I recovered. Lost a petal but overall very good performance

That M7 looks like a good pig combo!

That out by the fire tower or close by?

Good times! Tough to beat a nice 150-200lb sow. All I'm seeing on cameras lately is roaming boars and times aren't yet hard enough to warrant eating them!

Very cool! And those little striped ones will be GOOD!

Landowner very politely asked if he could have the sow

Since he gonna let me keep coming back I said yes sir. I’ll even gut it for you!

I kept the little ones. Look forward to trying that tenderloin!!!

Lighnin- out south of six mile a little ways. Think the fire tower your talking about is more sevier county isn’t it?

Well done!

Nicely done. Those little eaters are perfect to cook while on a rotisserie or smoker.

Hanco kills 'em all too...till he runs outta bullets. powdr

Nicely done!

Nice!

SueWeet!
Sorry, had to....
Nice bit a work and nice pig rig.

Congratulations, I like your rifle. My Blackout is an Odin Works barreled AR that shoots the Barnes 110 Tac TX into 1/2" groups

them pigs are good in the oven at 180/200 * for 6/7 hours

Very good congrats! Do you know the velocity of your load?

Perforated porkers are the best tasting bullet test media!

Ask me how I know?

Ya!

Geedubya

The knife I used to break em down was the stonehocker you so graciously helped me design by sending me detailed pics of your loveless patterns!!

So once again sir. Thank you!!

That won’t happen again, I carry 20 rounds instead of a dozen now.


That was the only time I’ve seen them keep coming back over and over. Maybe 2or 3 times. It was the most fun I’ve ever had hunting. 358 win

Hanco

We should team up for hog hunting then

I carried 5 rounds and killed 3

Like many great teams before us

starsky and hutch
Brady and gronk
Chip and Joanna
Harris and biden
Cheech and chong
Simon and Garfunkel.
Loggins and Messina
Maverick and goose

You guys gotta get with the program. If I roll out of the truck on a bunch of pigs I will have a 20 rounder slapped in the rifle and an extra in my back pocket. Only took me running out of bullets before I ran out of pigs once to learn that lesson.

Kid

Next time I would for sure take more ammo

Around here not typically a game rich shooting environment

But I’ll learn from your previous experience and carry extra next time just in case

Buddy of mine that delivers up on Bluff Mountain says that he sees them pretty regularly crossing the roads.

I have seen a few up in Richardson Cove on more than one occasion.

A friends dad has a place up on Royal Blue where he snares them about every time he puts out a snare. Has a cell cam that sends him the pics and he goes up there and
gets his pig.

I’d be worried about catching a deer.

Two more full sized pigs came through same spot the past few evenings well after dark. If they start showing up before dark or I buy thermal I’ll go after them as well

Nice work Kev, I’m familiar with peppa due to the grandson. 😂😂

Kill them all, large and small.
It’s so cool to watch them fall.
MFer’s are really smart.
But die quick if you hit their heart.
There’s so many you’ll never run out
They fuuck up lots of cshit with their snout.
They are better than deer with their sense of smell
Take plenty bullets, give ‘em holy hell!!
I’ve killed many a one
It sure is fun
Follow a wounded pig, take care!
They can kill you, I swear.

Nice poetry lol

Nice work for sure.
