Got this guy on the 17th, here in the Texas Panhandle. I used a Remington 700 in 7mm Rem. Mag. with handloaded 140 grain Barnes TSX bullet. Been wearin' out the hogs, too! Been a fun season. I'll be coming back up after Christmas to test out some 53 & 62 grain Barnes TSX handloads in the AR on a doe and hopefully some more hogs.

How about one of youngest with a 100% solo AR kill 
here my seven year old took this six point buck during the youth hunt back in October. Handload of Barnes 70grain TSX and Varget. Gun is YHM 1:7 twist upper on a Bushmaster lower. Leupold Mark AR scope 1x4. Before any of you start to think that I shot it for him, forget it. We practiced several times even out to 100 yards. He could actually keep about a 4 inch group at 100 yards with no problem on a rest. I felt comfortable letting him take any shot 50 yards and in. This guy stopped about 50 yards out, he dropped the hammer on him and the deer actually circled towards us and piled up about 30 yards out. The shot was slightly quartering to and he hit him just a little back( I had told him to shoot dead center shoulder). You can see in the pic where it exited. When we skinned it the hemmoraging was quite extensive for such a little bullet. In fact my father thought he may just start deer hunting with a .223 and barnes bullets. |

This hog was 375lbs and taken at Buck Tail Ranch in Indian River, MI. It has a 120 acre pen, and they only release 5 hogs for you to hunt. Great damn place to go!! Took about 6 hours to bag this one, had to creep up on them a few times with no luck, and finaly got a shot on this one at about 50 yards when it showed its shoulder through some thick trees. Standing shot with a Bushmaster that had a truglow reddot on it (cheap I know, was all they had at the store on my way there) but it did the job. It tipped over like it was hit by a truck, kicked a few times, and it was out. Buddy shot his with a 300wsm behind the shoulder and it ran 100 yards and took 20 minutes to die. 5.56mm 55gr FMJ for the win on this one!!
2009/2010 Season, no luck on the big rack last year. Still eats the same!

You do realize that wild hogs are the rats of the great outdoors, don't you? I have no problem with someone selling canned hog hunts. Me? I just shoot the bastards in the trap. I would sell canned hog hunts if anyone around here would pay for one. Wild hogs are a real problem right now....

So how the FUCK, is raising a hog in an pen and then releasing it in to a 120 acre field = wild hog hunting? That hog was farm raised (not hard to tell due to its features, the thing would probably eat out of your hand) and released to shoot. Not even CLOSE to a feral hog, which are a problem. But i'm sure you realized that.....

Lots of assumptions on your part. That being said, it's a fucking hog. I think a canned hunt on a hog is more honorable than a trip to HEB for a package of pork chops. A fucking slaughterhouse is industrialized production so the masses are guilt free when they buy their pork (beef, chicken, fish, etc...). That way it's just meat, not an animal. Me, I like to look my food in the eye and then kill it. That sow went from "Woohoo, freedom" to "Lights out" without going through a slaughterhouse. I'm sure any hog would prefer that.
Visit a slaughterhouse, then come back and preach at me. P.S. A lot of the canned hunt operations buy wild hogs from trappers to provide hunting animals. Michigan has a huge feral hog problem. (Feral, as in being domestic hogs gone wild, as opposed to russian boars that are the real problem here in Texas) |

The ranch I took it from is not a "canned" hunt. Their hogs are not the type you can walk up to, or you would care to get friendly with. They are kept as wild as possible, and as a friend of mine found out on the last hunt we did, very dangerous. It took a great deal of stealth to get up on these hogs. I have seen videos of other ranches that just bottle them up and you walk in and pick one to shoot 20 yards away. This is not the case here.
It is a 220 acre pin, with 5 to 6 hogs in it. It took me the better part of the day to track and stalk up on the one pictured. Texas and Michigan are 2 different zones. We are now getting problems down south here with wild hogs that excaped from a ranch years ago, and that is my next hoorah this fall. As we can hunt them year around without license and no limit on kills. Difference is that the hogs at the ranch I shoot at are fixed, and seem to taste much better than a Texas wild hog. I like to eat my food, and that is why I picked this place. It provided a good hunt, and a damn tastey hog ontop of that. No, the deer was taken out back of our property. I choose to hunt them real close. I like them to get within 15 - 20 yards of me. I like the rush of having them so close, and no I don't use a blind. I sit on a block behind a few stacked railroad ties 
Perhaps the flame job was a little premature fellas |

I could say the same about people who plant deer feed and bait year around watching shots from the trail cam, then go out and sit in a high speed bliind you could live a week in, picking off their deer with a bolt gun 50 yards out while eating their soup and reading a playboy......
Had to edit... And whats funny is those guys buy the 600.00 hunting suit, a bag full of scent lock soap and spray. Go to some BS seminar on how to hunt white tail, all that funny shit. I shot a nice 8 point that was 20 yards from me while I still had a ciggerette lit in my mouth. All it takes to hunt white tail is to stand still and not make noise. Its real easy ;) I will sit on my block and rest my rifle on a log, and sit that way for a long time, not moving, resting my cheek on the buttstock with my offhand wrapped up and around on my shoulder for support. |

I didn't see any posts from AZ =( I dont have any pics of my deer on here sadly but here is my dad and I in central AZ with Javalina we took. I used my Bushmaster as my dad used his R15. Then I got my Elk with Marlin 45-70 (I know, not an AR15) but here is some love from AZ.... Wish I had my deer pics on my computer =(

Sadly we don't have the populations or certain game like TX or MN have where we can take multiple deer or wild Hogs. I do want to go hunt for Wild hogs in TX, I hear they get MASSIVE!!!! and the Deer in Northern states are much nicer than here. Our WT's are tiny but we have some beefy Mule Deer =) |

Thats true. On the last hunt we did, a guy working for the company kept winging this hog, and the last one, the arrow cut its stomach open. So I handing him my AR and told him to finish the damn thing. He shot this hog 2 times, the 2nd shot made the hog tumble in mid run, and it went under a downed log. We got up to it and the 4 of us were standing there about 15 feet away tired from running after this thing for him and I told him to off it. The hog was laying on its stomach with its head up looking at us, blood coming out of its mouth, snorting. He just stood there doing nothing. So I grabbed the rifle from his hands, and soon as I did, that hog stapped to its feet and started chomping its teeth, and it was friggin loud. That big bastard rushed me, I just back peddled and dumped what was left in the mag into its head. I put 5 shots in its forhead in what I could only chalk up as some sort of freak of nature group. That damn hog landed about 3 feet from me with the back of its head blown out. Yeah, walk up and shoot them my ass lol. Perhaps in a pin where they are raised from piglets in the house with the kids..... |

My wife's relatives own the land, they all grew up there and they're avid all-around hunters. They told me that this was the biggest deer that they've ever seen and that's decades of deer hunting for them on this land. They were speechless when we brought this up to the house. The really special part to this experience is that I had talked my wife into being there with our kids that day. So my family was there to see this and the kids were all running around saying, "DADDY GOT A BUCK!" Chris |
