Hello; may I ask which load you use if you think a wild hog is about? I have some 2 3/4 inch OO buck and OO4 buck around but do not have any slugs. 2 3/4 or 3 inch?

OO will get the job done. You want a tight pattern. If I'm hunting them or extermination. I use a 95gr barnes 6.8. Head shot or spine I'm a DRT guy and don't like to track things.

6.5 creed? I have a 6.8 spcII with the 5r rifling. Its hard to beat the 95gr ttsx for animals like pigs, but a 12ga will get the job done if you like to be up close and personal.

Pics aren't working love the story tho,
Boar taste better than regular pork, once saw a boar that must of weighed 500 pounds, he was very lean tho, if he had been as fat as a domestic pig he would of weighed over 800 pounds very easily.

For boar get slugs, when hunting with slugs aim for critical bone areas(such as the vertebrae towards the front half of the porker),hunt from elevated stands or trees, because you never know, some people use dogs, but these hunters often frequently lose dogs, which is why I don't recommend using them.

Gun and the bike, bottom gun used (1858 new model Army) it is .44 cal shooting a 136 gr cast lead ball and loaded on top of 27 gr of fffg black powder. If I would of loaded 35 gr, it would likely have went thru and thru. P1010054 (1).JPG P1010031.JPG

They need to get over it, it's just a name.

A shooting broke out in Oklahoma, but two civilians killed him before he could kill any innocents, only two people were injured and they'll be alright.

In other news a "wolflike" animal was shot in Montana , after looking at the pics I think this is either a dog/coyote hybrid or a regular dog that's been living rough.

Your thoughts?
