Post some pics of your hogs... (Page 2 of 21)
Man this thread is making me want to hunt some hogs next year. Sadly Here in northern Indiana we dont have them. I guess I will have to try to find some place south to hunt. |

My first successful hog hunt was last year, and it was my second hog hunt ever. Both were killed by stalking through dense river cane, both were taken under 20 yards:
And again this year, there were 19 hunters, 4 hogs were killed. This was due to bad weather and flooding in most of the hunting area. I got lucky:

Head shot, about 90 yards. The scale at camp said she was 200 lbs. She had a weird, broken off piece of bone or something lodged in her ham - at first I thought it was an old bullet or arrow hole, but Gloftoe poked at it with his knife and dug out the bone fragment that was about 1/4" in diameter and 2" long, all chipped looking. No idea what it could have been, but it had encapsulated itself in there so none of the meat was ruined.
She's gonna make some nice tamales.

75 lbs, got him on the run at 50 yards with a 40 gr VMAX- (grabbed the wrong kind of ammo) 
180lbs, ~40 yards Shot in face, bullet came out of gut. Left a trail of teeth and tongue as it ran 20 yards before falling down dead. Got a pic of a 275 lbs of one that is hanging after its innards were removed. Will post that later, on my phone. |

so far they haven't made it to northern greene county (we have a family farm there), otherwise it wouldn't take me a month to break in my new barrel! |
I may not get any points for size on this pig, but I should get extra credit for style.
DRT from a 75g BTHP, just below the left ear, from ~95 yards...not very impressive so far, BUT He met his maker while he played with a pig pipe ... and while I sipped Jack Daniels and surfed the Internet 
Got my shooting lane finished two weeks ago from the cabin down to a dry gully that is heavily used by a lot of game. Put up a feeder and a pig pipe. The pipe was emptied the second night it was there. I have a big halogen light on the corner of the cabin. Pigs, deer, coons, and whatever don't seem to mind it a bit. (In the interest of full disclosure, I was not actually on AR15.com when I shot this guy.) I drove up tonight at 9:45 and refilled the empty pipe. This little guy showed up about 11:15. |
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Red here was knocking over my friends protein feeders until I hit him with a 6.8 85gr Barnes TXS at 3150fps.

A few months ago, we were sneaking around one night....I shot these two pigs with a suppressed 12" 6.8, using Barnes TTSX's.
Another bruiser shot at 240 yards, square in the shoulder, with an 85 grain TSX, from a 12" suppressed 6.8. It went down on the spot. I think I would have stalked much closer to this big thing, had I not been shooting the 85 TSX (it travels @ 2900 FPS from this 12" barrel) from a 6.8.

Went up to the lease in the Panhandle with a hunting pard a couple of weeks ago & ran into these unlucky critters.. The .308 & his 257 Roberts knocked the oink slap out of 'em! |
