Here's a pic of a russian boar I shot last friday in stephens co. Texas. It field dressed 182 lbs. First full russian boar I've killed, they look like a baby wooly mammouth when they walk out. (little hind end & tall at the shoulders, & brisly hair down the back. Regards Mike  Whiskey for my men & beer for my horses | ||

Here is my mount...estimated weight was 360 lbs. However taxidermist said it had the largest head he had ever mounted and that he could not do a slight turn mount because the size of the cape was so big there was only one form to chosse from.

What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

I dunno Dusty....that looks like the typical feral porker in CA. Although, I may not be a good judge because the only difference between that and a Berkeley Co-ed is about 5 lbs and a backpack.

Great hog pics guys. Thanks for sharing them. Hey Mike and others. I know it means a lot to you guys about your county. But, to the rest of us, we have no idea where the hell it is, and there's so many counties in Texas it'd take days to locate 'em. Sure would be appreciated if you'd include a town name so we could locate the area on a map to have some better idea where it is. Thanks much, George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | |||
