Mike you better call the smith and get you money back, that rifle has the bolt on the wrong side.

I built it. Best way I know to keep buddies from borrowing your stuff is to make it left handed.

Doesn't work with a left handed grandson. He's always snooping around for something to borrow...

I love to shoot them. I shot wild pigs every weekend last deer season, they swarmed my feeders every time they went off. This was first one I killed, a 140lb pregnant sow that I played lead tag with at 200yds. She lost. Nailed her right between the black spots on the side of her head. My 25-06 with 115gr ballistic tips makes for good pig medicine.

Texas sized GH. I asked my cousin in Belleview, TX if they had a hog probelem. She said she didn't think so. I was thinking of driving to TX for a month of fun.

My hunting property is in San Saba county, quite a ways from your cousin's place, but we have a problem with pigs in Texas and there isn't enough people hunting them to make a difference in their numbers. Just make sure you have a hunting license if you decide to hunt them. No limits, no season, any legal means allowed day or night and good luck.

Isn’t Tommy Lee Jones from San Saba? We passed through there on our way to hunt Rio Grande Wild Turkey’s in Llano Co. We did not get any Hogs while there, but the damage they inflicted on the Ranch was everywhere.
Cooper’s BBQ was actually the highlight of our trip across Texas as we sampled many of the smaller eateries to and from Llano.
GotRDid.

Yes, Tommy Lee Jones is from San Saba. I have had the fortune of hunting that county for 24 years on the same ranch. It's God's country in that corner of the hill country and I can't think of anywhere else I want to be in my free time except for maybe a little further south down in Mason or Llano counties. Copper's is fantastic BBQ, hard to beat.

Thought she was going to get this one at 400 yds but they kept moving towards us at a trot. Every 50 yds she had to adjust the elevation turrets. Finally stopped at 235. Head/neck shot it a little further back behind the ear.
She was really hoping to get a shot at 400.
We have seen a 280+ pounder three times but each time he gets by us.
His days are numbered.

If the one on the right thinks it's bad now, wait til he gets Doc's bill for that surgery. Hope it's in network.

 

[mikecockcroft]

notice I don't get my hands dirty

I've been playing mechanic on a 2002 jeep that I have invested $20,000 in and its still worth $3,500. Pissed off so I'm going hunting, I feel sorry for any pig that shows itself tonight.

Love shooting pigs. Keeps the freezer full. Even a few for population control.

 

[mikecockcroft]

[mikecockcroft]

These pigs will fool you. This one weighs 240.

A hog hunt has been on my bucket list, Can't walk to far as I'm a disabled Veteran. Just looking for one with a good set of cutters, but if I get a chance to shoot 5 or 8 without paying extra fees that would be nice. I see limited kills, trophy fees, and all sort of things on these pay to hunt places. Anything around 100.00 would be nice. If I'm going to drive or fly from MT I don't want to be limited.

I hunt south of Loraine which is just west of Sweetwater TX. The hogs showed up about 5 years ago. It is fun to thump one or two now and then. I have heard they put a ass whoppin on the rattle snakes. That might be true but we still have a few rattle bugs around, maybe not as many but they are still around. The big boars we just drag off. If a hog stinks, that is how they taste to me. I'll keep a smaller sows. They usually eat good. The hog issue has made me change my bullet selection abit. I load stouter constructed bullets than i used to for just deer. Hogs are tough animals. There is a deer processor that I occasionally use that has a jar of broad heads that they have pulled out of hogs. When my son was still shooting a light loaded 6.5 Creed with a 120 Prohunter, we had a big boar rodeo. He hit it twice in the head, it went down both times and got up both times. I tracked it about 20 yrds in the brush. He was still alive. My son shot it in the back of the neck about 7 yrds away. It got up and wanted to fight. I shot it 2 more times behind the shoulder and them a buddy of mine ran up and shot it with a 38spl. in the back of the head and finally killed that big bastard. I loaded a full load with a 120 TTSX and he got better kills on hogs. I usually shot a 7 Mag with 150 TTSX or a 30-06 with 150 TTSX's when I'm after swine. I have killed em with 7mm-08, 270 and a few others but, that 7 Mag with the 150 TTSX knocks the hell out of the hogs. PIc was from October of 2017. He was a mean SOB!
