44 Special Ruger gets 1st kill
« on: July 26, 2009, 02:58:22 AM »
I went hog hunting with my buddy yesterday, and killed a 187 lb. boar. (They opened the season up early this year) The load was a Mt. Baldy 250 gr. Keith over 7.5 grs. of Universal Clays @ 1000 fps. This time of year you can't see 30 yards in the woods. They came busting out of blown down tree top, and I shot him at 12 yds. The bullet cut his juglar vein, he ran about 40 yds. and piled up. We had some excitement going there for a few minutes.

Unfortunatly, I had taken my camera out of my truck, so I didn't get any pictures. I tried taking one on my cell phone, but it didn't come out to good. I put the camera back in my truck when I got home, so I'll be ready next time.
