Re: My first Pig hunt

Hey shooter65, it was taken with my Rem 700 .308 Tuned by USMC Quantico, VA armory. Burris XTR312 scope on the AICS stock. Yardage was not determined at the time, too excited, but Mark said he would go back to the spot and laser it for me and send me the info later.
I estimated 375-400 yards, but we'll see!!
Thanks, Ed

Re: My first Pig hunt

Re: My first Pig hunt

Nice hog, you will be hooked now, hog hunting is some fun stuff. They eat great too.

Re: My first Pig hunt

The owner and the butcher both commented that normally the meat will smell when being dressed, and they have dressed a few, this one did not smell at all!! Hope it taste as good as you guys say it does.
And we will be out there again soon, I'll keep you guys posted.

Good shooting Ed, was wondering what bullet you used? Did the pig run very far or was it a DRT?

Re: My first Pig hunt

Congratulations on the pig. Looks like just the right size for some very good eating. Nice shot.

Re: My first Pig hunt

Yeah, normally, if they don't smell that wild, they will taste fine.

This stuff was in bulk in my ammo dump (NO ID) took it out one day and got sub-moa groups with my Blaser and Rem 700 so I stuck with it. Pics are the best ID I can do and the pig ran 15 ft. and dropped!
Thanks, Ed

Re: My first Pig hunt

Great pictures, we have lots of feral hogs in GA, I want to start hunting them but rarely see them on our Deer lease. I hope that change this year.
