Is there just no end to them?

Yessir we have hired people to come in and eradicate them! They leave for a month or two and a new group moves in. Smart boogers to boot! They are about the only thing that I fear in the woods!

There is nothing that raises the hair on your neck like the low growling sound of a sow when it is pitch black and you are walking to your deer stand! I raised pigs back in my FFA days, I know from experience what that sound means when made by domesticated sows! It means "I have piglets and if you make a wrong move I am fixing to tear you a new one".

Hey flintknapper, going hog/deer hunting this weekend in the hill country and need some advice. What gun of the following would you recommend? 6mm Remington, 270WSM, or 30-30 ? I have not been to this place but have been told the range would be from 50 to 150 yds.

Thanks! Have shot deer with all of the above, was just not sure what an expert on hogs would recommend. Only time I shot a hog was twixt the eyes with a .22lr. Friend of mine hunts hogs with dogs and uses nohting but a 9mm, guess he likes to get up close and personal. If we have any luck we'll post some pics.

Hey if I send you a stop watch and a several boxes of Corbon DPX in 9 and 380 could you do some strasbourg style tests !?!?!?! Pretty please..

I have seen a few "tests" done with raw pork shoulder from Sams Club, but I don't think it would be the same as a snorting woolly beast.
Heck if you could do this I would have the ammo and a video camera drop shipped right to your door! When your done send me the video and I will edit it and post it on YouTube!

Let me know...
Brad

Sorry if I offended with this. I did not mean for it to but it was not meant as a joke either. I am very interested in how this ammunition performs in something that is not simulated. The strasbourg tests (if they really happened, or not) are very well known in the community and the part about posting videos on youtube. Well, it is the best free way I know of distributing video content. The link above will find about about 8,000 postings at least, conservatively half are truly video postings of pigs getting shot. Doing all this would not be a violation of any laws or put one at risk for somekind of civil action or even attention (Peta or other similar groups). Lastly, I thought you were planning on shooting as many as you could.

I respect your not taking the offer and hope that this response clears the air a bit. I don't want to come across as somekind of nutjob.
Regards,
Brad

No luck on bagging any pork! Saw alot of sign. I think the wind was blowing too hard 10-20mph with gusts up to 40.


Did run across this, while going for a frosty beverage out of the cooler!



Made for an interesting adventure! Last thing that I would have expected in the middle of December was a five foot diamondback curled up next to an icechest! He was a nasty booger! Anyone know how to tan a snakeskin?

LOL No thanks we have plenty. It is soooo dry out here, the place that we hunt has no water right now at all so the wildlife has to travel for it, which is not far, but still on someone else's property. We sat and watched two doe for hours. They would get downwind and get real jittery. Wouldn't leave, just wouldn't get downwind. Pigs are smarter than deer, so if deer were picking up our scent I know the porkers could smell us for sure! Even had cover scent and were in a fifteen foot tower blind.
