Next full moon...
The big spotted sow is next.
That winch on the far right leg is about 4 foot off the ground.

Envy. I need to find a hunting spot this year before I pass it up once again.

Hog hunting looks and sounds like tons of fun, but I'm glad we don't have that problem here yet.

Huge problem on the sugar cane farms around here they eat the sweet stalks then root up the roots of next years crop. They reproduce like flies. In my opinion after they hit about 20 lbs they aren't worth eating.

Dirt nap?
I would think a "partial" cremation would be more in order.

"Y'all come on over to tha pig pickin'!!!"

 

[Xfuzz]

All get sliced and diced here.
I think your looking at about
75lbs of pan sausage and/or links.
That old dude will wreck that feeder when it
emptys just tryin for more corn.

This is why FN gave the FAL a 20 round magazine. Target rich environment.

Are they fit to eat? I know that a farm raised male hog that has not been cut is not fit for man or beast to eat and I would think a wild hog would be the same way. I have always been told to not kill a sow that is in heat because it wouldn't be good but I have never tried that. Larry.

Time to send a little piggie home....

 

[Xfuzz]

Heard all the same things. This IS farm stock gone feral.
After years of huntin in the piney woods and
Listening to the old timers..the meat is fine.
For the bores you cut his cajones straight away after the kill.
Properly dressed and cleaned they are good eatin but your correct
I find the smaller the best.

You don't need a full moon. Red Jacket has a gun for that.









I'm kidding!

Have yall watched the episode of Gun Talk where they are hunting hogs with night vision (Texas)? 100 rds or so of .223 and they only get 2-3 hogs. One of the scenes they are going to all shoot on 3. One, two, blam, three. If you need a good chuckle watch this the next time they rerun it.

 

[1morethan8]

Just a note on the video I posted above...

They didn't use night vision scopes on the rifles in the video,
they used thermal scopes that see heat.. not light in total darkness!

Now, if I only had the extra money...
A subsonic rifle with silencer and thermal scope. Game caller, and my treestand... wouldn't this be great fun playing with all the coyotes in the neighborhood!!

Someone sent me this:

This Texas feral hog shooting chopper video (LOACH on the job) is fascinating. The pilot has a fixed rifle with optics rigged back to his helmet and eye-piece. He doesn't miss and his scout-chopper flying skills are down pat with the hogs behavior and pack or group running style. This came from Greg Cooper who has a huge ranch SE of Brownfield, Texas...south of Lubbock. I don't know where the chopper hog hunting op is but it is clearly West Texas. This is a long run video but the hogs get it! I don't see them dropping flags or stakes from the air to ground-mark their kills so as to go find them easily but I assume they "know" the country or wait for the turkey buzzards to tip them off.

1more, on that episode of Gun Talk they used both. If you are looking to play with a suppressor, you might want to look into the .300 Blackout. My boys have just completed an AR each in 300 Blackout and they shoot great. Uses std AR mags and with a little time you can make plenty of 300 brass out of .223. Cut it off at the shoulder, run it through the sizer, trim to length. I'm thinking about building up one myself.

Thanks, Larry... now all I need is the money!

Love it!
