first pig for this old man.

Bruce HollerWell I shot my first hog/pig.It was a guided, canned hunt at Clover Creek Ranch, Oregon, USA. I thought it was going to be a spot and stock hunt. In stead it was more of a pick and chose. Which is OK I guess. I shot a 175 lbs sow. One shot, double lung behind shoulder. I was using a Tikka T3 in 7mm-08. The 140 gr Winchester Super X Power Point worked just fine, and made a complete pass through taking out the lungs and damaged the heart. Actually we got to with in 30 yrds of a group of 8 pigs. So I got to pick and chose the one that looked to be a good eater. I would like to suggest to bring extra batteries for the camera so pictures of the autopsy may be taken. --Bruce |

Thomas PavelkaRe: first pig for this old man.Congrats on the Rooter! At last count I have dusted over 300 Russian Boars from Canada down to below PA and about everywhere in between.The "lightest" I used was a 30-06 with 180's, some 444 Marlins, a few 45-70's. But my fav of all time was the 378 Weatherby. It dropped em so fast they bounced when they hit the ground. My biggest was a monster Russian sow that weighed just over 500 pounds. I LOVE wild boar meat! |

Nathan FosterRe: first pig for this old man.Congrats Bruce. Yes, when they mob up and are not under pressure, it can be a bit of a pick and choose. Pigs cannot really be fenced in unless running electrics and a tight batton fence so you can cut yourself some slack in this regard.I just spotted a huge boar myself, about 250lb with huge tusks and a razor back. Walked right past me, into the kitchen, did a loop of the dining room table, then Steph fed him his morning kibble. |
