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.


Okie John

Good eating size Rio7

6 months old? Looks tasty to me :o)

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

Cheers ~

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

358 Winchester, pigs kept coming out, ran out of shells. Learn me to carry more than a dozen

That bad hey?

I was watching some Insane Feral Pig Hunting Videos that's why I became jealous, it looks like so my fun. The devastation to property and equipment does not sound like fun!

You don't want em. Destructive as can be and will eat any ground nest birds and other small critters.

That's too cool!!

David, those are nice size. But just a few more than I would clean. Hasbeen

Yep. I was alone that day, bad enough to haul them off to bone yard

Heres a couple nice evenings spent...

I needed a new drug.......


Found it....... Perforating Hoglets at night with thermal...



View from my 20' eye-height open air quad-pod. Absolutely perfect night. No breeze, +'- 65 degrees. Twenty miles from the nearest light source, so no light pollution. Boucoup stars and an incredible view of the Milky Way.

+/- 90 yds.

It is a game changer.


Sig Cross, 308 Win, 150 Gr. Norma Soft Points. Dead Air Nomad-30 suppressor.

First Boar came in about 8:30 PM.

As you can observe, they seem to think they are the top of the food chain.



It may seem inhumane to watch, but he is DRT, just don't know it yet. Sever the spine and they drop and paddle. If they go halfway around I put another round on the underside of the throat. Usually settles their hash.

Next one sauntered in about 1.5 hours later



nailed him too......

decent tushes!



yowsir!

SWEET Geedub!

Eatin’ size porker in the larder this morning!

NICE rifle Bob!

Thanks Poobs. I love the # 1 German recticle in that old Nickel 4x! Had it for years in the back of the safe. Decided to drag it out. 30-06. Probably a late 40’s build.

A friend of mine likes to kill hogs too.

A little pest eradication on the ranch this morning.





I actually passed on a nilgai cow this morning. I know, I know. But there are a whole bunch of young calves running around and i really didn’t want to orphan any. They are pretty young.

Good work Bob, killing pigs has become a habit with me. Rio7

Thanks Blue. I do enjoy chasing the pigs!

9.3x62 is enough gun.

9.3x62 is enough gun, but the 450 Howell is more than enough gun. Rio

Damn! And I thought my 30-06 was over kill!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What kind of scope rings are those Rio? Nice rifles BTW.

TGO (Target of Opportunity)

HadsDad, Loupy's. Rio7

Nice wood on that one Rio7

Got a couple more yesterday

Great pigs! Great guns! And great knives!!! ( Geedubya!)

Another eatin’ size pig this morning! Apparent sibling of the one I shot Friday morning. Same spot. Same little group.

Good work Bob, Cold and rain here. pigs are out and hungry.

This one is not a eater, stinks bad full of puss, Coyote bait. Rio7

Yeah. Small porkers here are healthy. That big boar I shot was a bit rank.

There's times when the .17 Remington is enough gun....

What is the Encore chambered in, Blue?

Killed this one last night at dark. He went into the bushes, located him this AM. Coyotes already found him

Mark, The Encore is a .243 1x8 twist, built for me by Fred Smith, Bull Berry owner now retired. shoots very well. Rio7

Hanco, The Damn Coyotes eat every thing, that hits the ground. Rio7

Yes they do, saw several this am, not enough time for a shot

Not a damn pig, but still a pest. An Iver Henriksen marked 25 Niedner rifle






td bank locations in texas

Hanco, All the Aoudad that were on our West Ranch left haven't seen one in over a year. Rio7

You are lucky

Sharp rifle Hanco!!

Thank you, shoots very well

Pigs are "shoot on sight" for us. In Georgia, they have become a biological hazzard. Keep bustin em.

GB

We shoot them,trap them, do our best to get shucked of them!

Every chance I get!!!

yup!

You are doing Gods work, keep firing!

I’m with hanco!

Plenty of pigs to shoot here but not touch due to rampant brucellosis.

In my Back yard


I know I hit him right there.



Big Ugly Smells Bad



Rio7

Rio, What are those blue wires going into the floor from the grating for?

Kingston, The grating is a digital scale, the blue wires lead to the scale. here's a picture. Rio7

A tasty SC sow

Ah, thanks!

Don’t touch without gloves for heavens sake, swine brucellosis is serious.

Hanco…so no gloves back in 2014 would be ok?

My personal favorite dead pig pics:





Doc_Holidude

You are probably OK!!

A few pigs came by this AM

You Text, boys be bored without them pigs to shoot! Lol

I’ll play

Some one has to feed the Coyotes. Rio7

Nice teeth on that one!

I've been known to shoot pigs Rio7

We don’t hardly have any red pigs.

We’ve got a few down on this end of the county, Hanco. Our back 115 acres is in Burnet co.
