jeffeossoRe: 376 Steyr on a numb hog
Jeff,
the big boar we took on our little STc Hunting trip took an about 80degree 405 just behind the lungs, and didn't even grunt... he missed about .25 of a step
when the 458 watts hit him (about directly facing away, spine DOWN shot) with a 500gr 458, he dropped to the shot...
and, of course, that Bastard wasn't even leaking good from the 405

WhitworthJeff, I live in Tampa, so I'm not very far from you. A friend has a hunting lease near Okeechobee where I do most of my hunting. I assume you hunt a lot being where you are.

dogworkerWhit,
I wish I could hunt more. Instead I spend almost every day guiding quail hunters this time of year. Also chase hogs. We have leases by Okeechobee for pigs and turkey. I run a shooting preserve outside of Arcadia. Most of the hogs I kill are on the shooting preserve. I'm told to kill every hog I see. They really play hell in the groves and pastures. That's the reason I've shot so many. Can't guide hunters for hogs on the property.
Best,
Jeff
