Well, you may have seen Mike Dettorre's photos (good show Mike!) so I thought I'd post some more of pigs we've taken lately. This is Aaron Nosler (yeah, that NOSLER) with one of the Custom .300 WSM rifles. Nice kid and he made a fine shot.  Adam Schuttle took this boar this morning using an A-Bolt Browning in 30-06. Adam just graduated from high school and is headed to Marine bootcamp so his dad wanted to send him off with a pig hunt.  Tim Baker is an outdoor show coordinator in Southern CA with Fred Hall & Associates. He made a fine running shot on this bruiser last Friday. The gun was a m700 in .300 Ultra with Trophy Bonded bullets.  Tre Harris from San Diego has hunted with us for years and took this nice meat pig a week ago using his Sako.  Hope you enjoy the photos. We don't always have good light for pictures (or time to take them) so it's nice to get some decent photos recorded. Great hunting with great hunters, Kyler ___________________________ www.boaring.com I'm so old that I still have some skills even without an internet connection or electricity. ___________________________ | ||

Recent addition: AR's own Blacktailer took this nice meat pig with me this morning. He made a fine shot with his trusty Rem. 700 in .30-06.  I can attest he's another fine gentlemen from AR.com.

I'll just add that I had a great time hunting with Kyler. It was like going hunting with an old friend even though it was the first time we had met.  Have gun- Will travel The value of a trophy is computed directly in terms of personal investment in its acquisition. Robert Ruark | |||

Russ, Quit lying...Kyler is mean, rotten, and hateful...mostly cause he makes fun of my tatse in rifles... My son is going to Cal Poly so I will be down that way now and again...maybe we can go and swap lies at Kyler's place.. Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  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. | |||

question on quality of meat and the shipping of meat? Are the bigger boars any good to eat? How do you suggest handling meat processing for a hunter traveling by plane and how long does the meat processing usually take? Thanks Seeker | |||

Thanks for the comments Russ, Mike & Eric. We've had a great run lately so here are some more photos: Yesterday:  This morning:  Seeker, The meat is pretty good but may be better in sausage on the really big old boars. There are several ways to get the meat back home. I'll send you a PM. Feel free to email with questions.

After taking their two good boars, Tom & Mac finished off their hunt with two nice meat pigs out of the same group.  As Mike, Eric and Russ can testify it isn't usually this easy.

This is what we were up to today.... Mike and Jade had a great hunt this morning. Mike has taken many pigs, but this was his wife’s first hunt. As we were working up on a nice group of meat pigs at first light a large boar came right past Mike to check for sows in heat (he looked straight at us but we froze, the wind was good, and he was “distractedâ€). Since Mike already has a nice boar head on the wall he held off and let Jade take the big boar and he shot a meat pig. We weighed Jade’s boar at an honest 280 pounds. I dropped the boar head off with the taxidermist while Mike and Jade headed for home with lots of pork.

Kyler, do you have a lot of good trophy hogs like this one where you are? "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||

Whitworth, We've taken a couple that size this summer but there certainly aren't a lot of them. Kyler ___________________________ www.boaring.com I'm so old that I still have some skills even without an internet connection or electricity. ___________________________ | |||
