Hey Big...I believe he took that hog at a place in Norther MI.

Here's the site: http://www.bearmountainquest.com/

And it looks like he shot it with a Remington "Belch Fire" and its compensator gizmo on the muzzle! Great big bore for that Great Big Boar!

Made my second trip to TX this winter, my son went this trip and we both got our first hogs which was a pretty cool experience to share. Thanks everyone for input and tips. He used his .270 and I used the 45-70 Handi. We got 5 because we were to kill all hogs we could but one was pretty tiny. thejanitor

That's what we're talking about. QUANTITY is QUALITY. Pull the trigger till you're HAPPY. Kill them all...there is no "end of line" with pigs.

These guys were "littering" my pen Friday evening. (Time hack is way off on camera) Lucky for them they didn't return while I was sitting in the blind that night and Saturday night. Ought to be a busy Spring--

May I recommend a .223 AR-15 and 30 round clips. That is a Target Rich environment. Just keep shooting!

DennisB · « **Reply #156 on:** March 27, 2011, 07:15:13 PM »

Um, 223 is too light, IMHO--I use an R25 in 308 with 20 round clip~

stubshaft · « **Reply #157 on:** March 27, 2011, 09:10:03 PM »

I don't think any of the hogs in the picture would top out above 80lbs. I would use a 22lr and head shoot them.

We've had feral hogs in my neck of the woods for over 100 years. I don't head shoot hogs ever because of skull shape and thickness. I neck shoot them. This usually means an instant down. I have also killed my biggest boar with a 52 grain match hollow point from a 223. They professionally helicopter hunt hogs west of here and the shooters use an AR15 reflex site in 223.

Here is a old video of a small, 45 LC head shot Pig. Revolver in one hand, camera in the other... Unsure how/why the sound and image became out of sink...

Don't you just love their poor eyesight? Come out in the open and stand there trying to figure out what the "dark clump" ahead of them is...then BOOM!!! Out Go The Lights! That was fun!!!

What was the distance of that shot? It looked fairly long.

It was about 25-30 yards. Camera makes things appear farther away.

He's a Beaut and a Brute! That'll do! He is a big boar.

I see you are AA. I don't recognize the terrain. My son was 82nd Airborn and now stationed with the Mountaineering Rangers in Dahloniga, GA.

Very nice hog!!

Land Owner,I havn't worn that outfit officially since 1983.It makes some good stomping around the woods cloths though don't they?Tell your boy I said "all the way". That terrain is central Texas..about an hour east of Austin.

Got my first ever hog. I figure he weighed some where around 100 lbs. Called him up with a Fox Pro Electronic caller. Wild pig in distress. Took about 10 mins for him to respond. 308 head shot at about 25 yards. We dont have em right around the house here so I had to go off with a buddy of mine. I really hope they dont like our part of the world but I know theyre coming sooner or later.

drdougrx · « **Reply #171 on:** October 08, 2011, 06:30:41 PM »

Nice job!! Fox Pro huh.....hmmmm....gives me a few ideas.....

Land_Owner · « **Reply #172 on:** October 09, 2011, 05:03:56 AM »

I bet that .308 dropped him faster than a "high maintenance" girlfriend. Nice hog. A good one for your first. When the meat isn't laced with adrenalin/acid/testosterone, the Primordial "chemical soup" when they are chased and/or scared, you get a good meal from head shot hogs.

rugerfan.64 · « **Reply #173 on:** October 09, 2011, 07:27:07 AM »

First thing I have ever killed with it bigger than a skunk or rabbit. Hog never moved out of his tracks. Them things must be pretty dense cause it didnt throw him around like when you shoot a deer,he just fell over and started kickin his back legs. I kept him covered for a while lol.

Land_Owner · « **Reply #174 on:** October 09, 2011, 09:05:13 AM »

Hogs have a real low center of gravity, a "wide-body" stance, spread hooves, and short leg bones compared to deer. Also, the manner in which your bullet expands as it passes through, hitting bone, backbone in particular, has a lot to do with "tipping moment". I just love it when they tip right over and start kicking. No Tracking. Well done!

Um, 223 is too light, IMHO--I use an R25 in 308 with 20 round clip~

F.A.L. with a 3-9 mildot makes a great gun for this as well.

Hey not saying 223 is too light he feels better hunting with a 308 Win.

Not sure if this will work this is my first picture post. Took this one in 2009 with a 444 at about 40 yrds.
