Quote HistoryQuoted: It’s only happened to 2 folks I know of. First was my youngest, he was 12 at the time. Second, and most importantly was @lilmac25. He should hang his head in shame to this day .... Let’s clarify what we’re discussing here... I failed to chamber a round on a hog hunt. I don’t know anyone who thinks 5.56 recoil is painful. |

Didn’t get any pictures but was out black berry picking along the road/fence line when I started hearing shots. Farmer was chasing down hogs pretty effectively with his truck and blasting them with a 22 mag. Never leaving the house without a rifle I moved his way in the ranger and offered my help which he accepted as they seemed to be getting out of range for him
 Got the last two, one just as it was about to hit the tree line about 150m away. So that sounder is done. He’s been on my need to meet list for a long time he’s just never been there when I tried to swing by but we have waved back and forth since we moved here. We chatted about 20 minutes. Now I’ve got him added to the good guy list, access to his land for blackberries, instructions to shoot pigs on his property whenever I see them (actually never seen them on his land before), and he said he’d call if he gets another sounder he needs help with. All around win

I still have not topped sticking a 20# pig to the ground with a heavy carbon fiber arrow and him going round and round squealing  I figured he would just break the arrow but it took some doing.

I'll add to the stack. I don't get to hunt often as it's invite only on my FIL's lease.
This one was shot last fall with a .308 168grn A-Max. Shoulder shot dropped in it's tracks.  These were taken this last weekend with a 6.5 Grendel 123grn SSTs. 1st one was a big old boar. Caught him coming into a feeder. Shoulder shot and he dropped, squealed and kicked for a few seconds but never got back to his feet. Was the 1st kill with the 6.5G. I was damn impressed with it's performance. He ended up coyote feed.   3 meat pigs also shot with the 6.5G from this past weekend.  |

Other times we simply can't get close enough fast enough. My hunting partner just got what I believe is a sightmark photon xt and mounted it with a rifled slug barrel. Hopefully next time we go we won't have to get as close. The plan is to locate with the thermal and mark it with my DBAL mounted on the mono-pod with the thermal and then use the Photon equipped gun for the shot. Who knows if it will work but at least it'll be time spent hunting. |
