Just got this nice boar with one of my airguns, it was the most intense hunting situation I've ever being into, I had to take a moving shot as it was coming my way at 10 yards, the headshot took his legs out from under him and toumbled to the bottom of the gulch where I was, but than roaring like crazy it tryed to stand up so I put one more behing his hear, and than a quick one in the hart just for insurance, I was sitting a long time after to recover from the massive adrenalin rush.

Air guns and wild pigs... who would have thunk it?
What do you think the big one weighed?

I have to say Mannie....that face paint and your look of "Extreme predjudice" really makes those photos look "intense"....great shooting. I sure wish I could run around and take hogs...
-
manny what cal did you shoot them with man this is cool seeing the pics i want to buy one now
-
man, that gun looks like a cannon!

I was carrying the 9mm yesterday (can check the review on my long thread), good thing with airguns is that they are nowhere near as loud as rifle, the big boar came in 15 minutes after I shot the sow
David, near the 200 pound mark, maybe a bit less ?.....no change to take it up out of the gulch, I had to butcher it down there and take it out in stages :)
Diligence, I was still so shaken up as I was taking those pictures ;D

Manny, you seem to be having a blast hunting with your airguns, thanks for sharing pics along the way with us :)
-
Nice looking pigs, Manny. That ol' Boar look's like a real stinker. ;)
-
Sounds like an awesome hunt Manny.With an air rifle to boot.Huntin ' those hawgs does it for you for sure,I know it does for me.(the adrenaline rush). Boars that size around here are'nt fit to eat.They stink real bad. Great hunt,. God Bless

Does anyone else feel like maybe we should have a PA sponsored event at Manny's ;D Hog hunting in Hawaii anyone?

thanks guys :) The boar meat is getting the 48 hours ice water and vinegar treatment, I sold it to the restaurant I work at, they gonna make a "Wild boar special" ;D
Hunting with airguns is a blast, still have to get close so makes it a challenge, and they are pretty quite, with the scarcity of game around here where you might not see anything for months you need to make the most when you do, bow and arrow still my love, but as a hunter I need to make some kills too ;)
