Just got back from shooting pigs in Tx the four of us shot 9 pigs a couple around 300 pounds.

I shot one of the 300 pounders with my 44 red hawk 310gr hard cast wf lee mould. Took him at the base of the neck dropped him in his tracks. The others where shot with my 06 scout rifle and 220 rd nose at 2250. My son and friend used their 338 Win mags.

A great time was had by one and all.

Except for the 18 hr drive each way it was very fun trip.

Which part of Big Tex did you go to?

p dog shooter
Glad to hear you had a good time. We have some excellent hog hunting here.

What part of the state did you hunt in?

I don't know if you took any pix., but post 'em if ya got 'em.
GWB

We hunted about 50 miles south of Waco about 12 miles out side Cameron TX

That area around Cameron is loaded with hogs. That is great country. Let us know more about your hunt when you get rested up a bit.........and post those photos!!

Congrats,

Bob

You can do the same thing without all the recoil with a 22-250. Believe it or not, we do it all the time.

Congratulations! Where are the pictures?

Please excuse my ignorance, but how do I post pics and I will be happy to post some of our pigs.

Personally I would suggest opening a photobucket account (www.photobucket.com) -- it's real simple to use. Open an account, and then upload photos and once they are in your photo album, you copy and paste them into your reply. Even I -- the premier computer illiterate -- can do it! Then, post 'em on the hog hunting forum because there are a lot of folks there that will love to see them! Looking forward to it!

I have and use three 22-250 rifles. One Mod 70 FWT, one Mod 70 FWT with Ramline Stock and one A Bolt with camo stock. All I shoot is bulk 55 gr handloaded bullets using 4064 or sometimes Winchesters 45 gr hollowpoint factories. lets see if the pics come through.

You did it!! Excellent! Congratulations! Good hogs!

It worked. Let me try it again.

again.

That's a really good hog! Do you know what he weighs?? He's got some good ivory!

Hey, post these up on the hog hunting forum -- please!

No, I have no idea really. At the ranch we have a scale that goes up to 250 lbs. and all three of these bottomed it out. I haven't been on this forum in a few years since I had my little girl. I just logged on tonight and it has changed a lot! There is a hog hunting section now?

Yessir -- just scroll down!

Here is one I shot back in 2003. This was back before I had a good digital camera. This pic was taken with a cheap throw away camera and I had my mother sit behind him to show how big he was. He had 4 3/8" tusks. Again, no idea how much he weighed. I'll confess, I shot him with a 25-06 with 117 gr Sierra BTSP handloads. I like hunting with all my rifles and just happend to have that with me this day. This is my best pig yet.

Wow, he's a beast!! I hope you mounted his head!! He's definitely worthy!

Is the hog section titled "Hogs, Wart Hogs, etc." I'll post a few more.

Yes it is -- the guys will like to see these pictures!

P Dog,
Who were you hunting with?

Aggie,
Gig Em!

Ryan I was hunting with my son and a friend and his dad. The ranch is private and not a comercial operation. My freind has exculsives rights to hunt on it. by developing a personal relatioship with the rancher.
