Pig Hunt

Boar Hunt in Central California coast region on the Mee Ranch using Nessen Schmidt guide service. The guide estimated the weight of this boar at 225 pounds. I used a Model 70 in .270 Win. The ammo was a hand load- 140gr Barnes TSX bullet, 39gr of IMR 3031. Range was about 100 yards. I had to wait for this one to run between trees. When he got to the window, I fired and dropped him.

Nice Mark, you should let us know how he tastes...

A good Wild Pig hunt is on my list, love critters that'll fight back, especially when they taste good too!

They taste very good. I keep the loins and backstraps, the rest goes into sausage.

Nice, Mark.

How'd your son do?

That sure is a small picture.

Being that I just picked up a new .308 I'll have to get up there one of these days and give it a try.
