West Texas Hog Hunting
« on: May 14, 2011, 12:19:57 am »
So I'm hog hunting with George Stoneburge and when we drive up to the feeder I will be hunting over, there is a sounder of at least 30 roasting size pigs and a nice sow. George stopped, backed up and I loaded up... I was not loaded up  ???

I snuck up behind the cedars to within 20 yards and fired of a shot( sorry with a rifle)...

Well I missed!!!! :(

but it was Georges fault

Too bad :D If there is feeders, I usually pack my Super- Redhawk with the 8.5" barrel. Just set up on them tomorrow, when the feeder goes off again. They are stupid, if they don't have food they will be back, just a little more cautious. ;)

Try again.  And post some pictures when you get one ;D


Hey Mullet, I have a Taurus 44 mag. with the 8 3/8" barrel.  Those big handguns are fun aren't they?  It is the only gun I have carried for the last 3 deer seasons.

Yes sir! I love mine. It's the one I got the boar hog with that Chris Cade tells the story about. He was running full speed about 75 yds and I was running with flip-flops, talking on a cell phone, jeep roling away in neutral, got lucky and popped him behind the ear. ;D Oh yea, forgot about the shorts and flowery, Hawaiian shirt. ;)

I'm embarrassed to say I forgot to grab the pics off that trail cam.  It would have been funny to see the sounder and then C and I vainly looking for sign.  That sounder did come into another feeder this morning after I left it and moved to a different feeder. ???  Anyway, this is what he had to chose from:



Probably flock shot. ;D  I've done it.  ;)

Had a great time.  We need to do it again.

Apparently we've got wild boar growing in number in Ireland now, due to either some escaping from farms, or (more probably) activists releasing them into the wild.

They originally died out here in about the 17th century.  As they've been "illegally reintroduced" back into Ireland's wildlife, they've been put on the invasive species list - which means all year hunting!!

Now all I gotta do is finish getting bowhunting legalised, then it's bacon, ham, pork and rashers all day, every day!!!


oooooh...  and don't forget the ribs!!! ;D

OK Mike, that'll give my replacement night vision scope time to get here too. >:D  I've always wanted to shoot one of the Saiga 12s. ;D

Paul, I've done it too, multiple times.  My worst hog shot ever was when I tried a shot down at about a 20lb shoat from a very tall archery stand.  I shot a little low and the arrow went in the split between his little hoof.  Must've hurt like the dickens as I've never heard a hog make the sounds this one made.  It kept spinning in circles so I could not get another arrow off at it.  Finally the arrow came out and the little thing ran off no worse for wear.  Those little, always moving, shoats are tough targets. :-[

My wife loves the ribs, can't come home without them. ;)
