My friend got a good one this morning! 300 win mag , 180gr pp's.

I watched this one hit the deck

Oh what fun!

Good eatin' little piggy. Congrats to your friend. I think he used enough gun.

(In October I hit one about that size at 150 yards from a blind with a .375 H&H. For some reason as the gun recoiled I reloaded it. When the muzzle came down the reticle of the scope was right on another about the same size. Second trigger pull left second piggy DRT. Was thrill! I found that the .375 pushing 300 gr TSXs was enough gun too )

That's a shoat!! Haha!! That is definitely an eating pig -- and it should be great!

Mike, the .375 borders on enough gun......

Ha!!! When you can use a rifle cartridge for a scale you know it's "eatin'-size"

LOL, you're right!!

bugle,

I would have thought a 180 gr bullet out of a 300 win mag would have done more damage. Did he hit it or scare it to death. Well, great job, thats about 100 less pigs we'll have in Texas in the next two years. Keep up the good work.

It is hard to see the damage because we did a Kentucky neck shot on her Right above the tail and the bullet came out between the front legs.

Thanks guys, we love the comments

hey bugle,
I thought that was called a Texas heart shot. I think I like the "Kentucky neck shot" better
GWB
Ps. you keep killin' and postin' & I'll keep viewin'

Glad I didn't have to field dress that one---but the thoughts of a long, slow, cooking over a Texas mesquite fire with a good Cajun rub---yum!!!

LOL the cartridge is almost taller than the pig. I bet it eats good though!!!

GOOD ,FOR COOKING BETWEEN 2 FIRES ,WITH HONEY AND PEPPER ,DELICIOUS MEAT.JUAN

Thanks for the comments guys, we are loving them!

Well, did you guys eat it?? How was it??

I don't know how good bugle's tasted but I know how the backstraps from a 70 pounder my son shot last weekend are gonna taste,
deeeeeliscioussssss

I like to take the backstraps, get a gallon freezer bag and put the meat in along with a big bottle of zesty italian dressing,4 ozs. of teriyaki sauce, a little garlic powder and some tony chacere's original creole seasoning ,and a little black pepper. I marinate the meat in this mix for 24 hours. When I'm ready to cook it I get my grill good and hot usually adding some mesquite chips for the smoke. I take the backstraps out of the bag, slit them longways and chop up some onion and jalepeno and stuff this in the slit in the meat. Then wrap a couple of pieces of bacon arouund the backstraps and hold the bacon with toothpicks. Put this on the grill and cook almost done, remove from the grill and eat immediately. Good enough to make you want to slap yo' daddy down.

Damn, Geedubya, that sounds great!! I am always looking for new recipes for hog meat, and I think you just posted a great one!! Thank you sir! Now I just gotta get out there and refill my freezer -- actually still have a bunch of venison that I need to eat first......

Whitworth, that recipe also works great with venison backstrap, but you should only cook it to medium rare. In my opinion venison is best eaten right off the grill.
GWB

I'll try it! I have a lot of meat that needs to be consumed before I have the room to fill it with hog meat.

This little one tasted great! I wish I would have had pictures around to show how it came out. mmm pork and beans

That sounds great, Justin!
