This last weekend, I finaly got to "blood" my 375 H&H. I went to South Texas and shot a pig (about 20 lbs) and later a Javalina with nice teeth. Keith IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | ||

Excellent  Now... Did they charge? Did you let them decide how they wanted to die? Did you post a Hunt Report with photos, PH, etc. up above?  NRA Lifer; DSC Lifer; SCI member; DRSS; AR member since November 9 2003 Don't Save the best for last, the smile for later or the "Thanks" for tomorow | |||

I do have pictures, but I am having "issues" with photo(slop)bucket.  As for the piggie, he decided to die with his guts hanging out. Busted right down the centerline, a-hole to sternum. The javalina, had a big ol' BM, when I made an Oklahoma brain shot.

Congratulations on the oinker with the 375. I have yet to shoot a javelina with my 375, maybe next year. I did kill one with the CZ 458 I had a couple of years back. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

I sure thought Keith was shooting at the big pig, and when they scatterred what was left looked like a housecat runover by a Dodge! I shot a badger on this trip, with my .375! At the taxidermist ready in a few months. Congrats again on the piglet! We Band of Bubbas N.R.A Life Member TDR Cummins Power All The Way Certified member of the Whompers Club | |||

Did it kill the javelina and make sausage meat at the same time? I shot a wart hog with a 375 and it left a grapefruit sized exit wound. "Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult." | |||

Surprisingly, Yes it did. I was using 350 grain Hornady round nose bullets and it did a lot more tissue damage than I thought it would. At the range I was shooting and the size of the critter I figured the bullet would not expand very much. Boy was I wrong. If I ever get another 458 to play around with I will be using hard cast lead bullets running a tad slower. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

On my wife's first pig hunt, when the sounder came into the feeder, I told her to pick out one and shoot it. The gun went off and pigs and dust went everywhere, and I thought she had missed. I looked over at her and asked what happened and she said that she had a pig down. We got out of the stand and walked over to the feeder and sure enough she had dropped her a pig. Does the movie "Babe" bring anything to mind??? Sucker dressed out at 5 pounds. It was one of the best taking pigs I ever ate but there were some 60 and 70 pounders in the bunch. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

The pig I shot, was the one I saw the best. So, he died! It did happen pretty quickly, with lots of low hanging mesquite very close by. Keith IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

Keith, well done. Think of it this way... ANYBODY should be able to hit a 300 lb pig... It is a lot harder to hit a 20 pounder. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

How's the javelina skull coming along? "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

I skinned it and removed most of the flesh. Now the bugs are working on it. When they are through, then i will get some peroxide or clorox warer to it. The skull really does have great teeth.
