My son and I went hog hunting tonight, and he scored with a nice Russian-cross boar (a.k.a Piney Woods Rooter) that weighed about 225 lbs. It was his first kill with his new Marlin 336SS and Hornady LeverEvolution ammo.  | ||

that marlin has got to be about the best selection for a young hunter for pigs. and a nice pig to boot. congrats.  was it a running shot? the blood looks a little far back. altho it obvously done the job. best take him out for more practice.  greg | |||

The shot was a perfect heart shot, and the pig never took a step. He did flop around, and we had to drag him a few feet for the picture. The blood on the hip came from the flopping or the dragging. | |||

Bob This little boar will be buzzard bait. We could barely stand to drag him out and take pictures because he stunk so bad. I already had plans to eat it if it had been a sow, but the last few boars that we have killed have been pretty rank. My son wants to try it again tonight, but I need a little sleep before another night hunt (not that I didn't get a little nap in the blind last night)  . | |||

"My son wants to try it again tonight" Sounds like we have the makings of another "pig murdering fool" here. Way to go!!!! An old pilot, not a bold pilot, aka "the pig murdering fool" | |||

This is so much better than the fat kid that killed Fred,aka Canned Yams, the 1000lb pet. Obviously a better Dad, also. | |||

He's just got a helper until the time he grows up enought to handle both their pigs when they go out. Lo do they call to me, They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla, Where the brave may live forever. | |||

The problem I have is that my son is not new to hunting. He killed his first deer when he was 6 and has been hooked ever since. I am not sure how many deer he has killed, but he killed 5 in 2006 (2 in Oklahoma with his muzzleloader and 3 in Texas with his Encore 270). Here are the bucks that he killed in 2006. The only "can" that is involved in our hunts will contain something to drink.   | |||

Congrats to you and your son! He's a seasoned hunter already.... and an accomplished one at that!!! I'm turning 46 years young next month and just got back from my first hunt ever. I took my 18 year old son on a guided hunt and we've been hooked ever since. You must be VERY, VERY PROUD OF HIM!!! ALOHA! LATE-BLOOMER  | |||

Jeff, Congrats to you and your son. Memories like this last a lifetime. Jeff No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies. | |||
