Well, let's see what ya'll consider to be "nice pigs".. of course, any that can be eaten are nice to me!

this one is from 2 years ago, way down in south texas.. great buddies on a good hunt.. he was shot facing me, 416AR, and i had watched him come form 200 yards till about 30 yard... the blood spots are the several exits from the speer 350gr magtip

Here's one I shot last summer in Florida. He looks small in the first photo, but you can see he's chunky in the second. He ate well!

I took him with my .475 Linebaugh and a 420 grain WFN at 1,350 fps. The shot was 80 yards.

Nothing more enjoyable than watching hunting pictures !!

Next week I will escape for a night and see what happends..

I wrestled this one to the ground and broke its neck. The gun is just a prop

Big or small...I like them all

This little piggy was killed back in Sept. with my Freedom Arms 500WE. One shot, it weighed just over 750 lbs. Made some of the best sausage I've ever had.

600 Overkill is the man of men!!!

You guys may have already seen most of these, but here are some of my better ones from the last 13-14 months or so.

I forgot to add: most of the hogs around here have strong Euro/Russian lineage. I've killed only a few that didn't look to be too many generations from the pen.

Yo' da man 600!
Big guy,
bigger hog
Tallest tale

Keep 'em comin'

Roasters--Umm Umm Good!


jeffe didn't see this one--


Someone's "Pet" she named Spot.


My biggest--208 lbs taken with .25-06 in the ear.


The big 'un's skull


A few reasons why I miss the place:

Jeffe,

Looks decent to me. Any time I can nail one or a dozen I'm jazzed. It don't even have to be a big 'un. I love shootin' pigs. I also love slow cooked pork ribs and marinated pork loin.

Here's another Florida hog I took in '07. He was a 170-lb barr. It was about a 40-yard shot out of a stand with my squirrel rifle (M77 in .338 win mag shooting 250 grain Partition Golds)........

GW,
Heh, trust your eyes to spot that.. he's ALOT bigger than the pics show, and since you've met me, and the others that have, know I am a mountain.. he was about 180-200 ... no stink in the meat, and ate up good!!

man, I was 4wheelin saturday, and 2 piggies have NO IDEA how lucky they were.. 70 yards, and trottin away from me.. had no clue I was there.. if i had had even a 22, i would have got em both!

weighed 430lbs... taken in west TX on a winter wheat field at last light..



600OK, where did that beast come from?? PM with some info!! That thing looks like a damned grizzly bear!! I want one!

Scottyboy-

You forgot to subtract 15 pounds for all the mud on him...

Just kidding. That is a HUGE hog!

Well, she was named Spot...

Here are a couple more mid-sized piggies from a few years back. These were scanned from plain-paper prints, so pardon the low image quality.

Wow! He's a beast!

I see there's a couple folks here who hunt pigs too. Well, had to put up a couple decent European Boar up to even it up here Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Most shot with Blaser BD880, 30-06

Here are a few. All over Texas.

220 lbs.-Still my largest to date.



89 yards with 7-30 Waters Contender.







Hog set up........

Wow,
scrolling back through this thread, I'd say there are some decent hogs. Way to go guys.

Wow!! That is a great hog! Did he become a mount?

whitworth

no i didn't have the head mounted because both bottom tusks were broken at the gumline. i know they don't use the real teeth anyway but since he didn't have them, i didn't want to "fake" it. i cleaned the skull and called it good.

For eating, this is the size I like best (9,3x62)


Some off the front porch, first one's a boar that went around 250 pounds (260 Rem)


358 Win and 9,3x62


358 Win and 375 Ruger


375 Ruger and finished off with 7-30 Waters (my contender pistol had the 17 HMR barrel on it, and I can shoot my daughter's 7-30 with one hand while holding the light)



Day my wife shot this one, I jumped a monster but was unable to get a shot (260 Rem)


Shot with .44 Magnum encore at about 50 yards

Great work you two. I love to see a couple that hunts together.

the pink flip flops just do it!

I don't shoot it, I just turned the light ON and find the blood trail for the follow up but it's the biggest we have hunt so far.

Great boar, Lorenzo!

Wow Lorenzo...what a beauty!!

My hunting buddy was the one that shot it.





I was just there doing nothing...as usual

L

I have just noticed that he has sticked to his T shirt the target that we have used early in the afternoon to check the zero of our rifles !!!
