Spotted Hog
« on: December 25, 2009, 09:50:04 AM »
Shot this one in November with a 270. Range was around 100 yards, hit thru spine and required a finisher but it went nowhere. 130 grain Nosler Solid base bullet pushed to right at 3000 fps.

Congrats on the nice spotted sow.  We have a few wild spotted hogs in SW OK:  Got this boar near Faxon a couple of weeks ago.

Must be "Spotted Hog" season.  My daughter got one too, smaller though, but just as spotted and similar light color...along with a red one and a black one for a "Three-fer".  She had a very good first hog hunt and is rearing to go some more..and I sure will be taking her!

Up until last year virtually all the hogs we shot were brown or black and usually mud encrusted. This year we have killed several light colored hogs and none were covered in mud.

 Congrats on all the hogs. If you shot one in Alabama anytime recently it was muddy. Dang at the rain we've had. I've got a hunt planned for Feburary. Don't care if they're muddy or not. Just want hog.

 :) Howdy! In my part of Texas you will see hogs of all colors. Most are black or red; however, I saw one that was white with black spots, kind of like a holstein cow. Color does not matter to me, they are all fun to harvest.  Always, Gene

My place is located West of Abilene, Tx. We have a fair number of hogs with about fifty percent being black/white, we also have some that look almost yellow.  One of these days I will figure out how to post picture from my trail camera and will show them.

My son killed a very large sow yesterday afternoon, she was black but had several pigs with her that were black and white.  We just shoot them and leave them lay.

I had a nerve check two weeks ago, I shot a large boar, (about 300lbs) I shot him with a 6.5x55 useing a 139 gr Nosler bullet, the shot was about 150 yards.  I knew he was large and decided to go take a look, I drove as close as I could got out of the truck and started up the hill, I decided I had better take my gun so I went back to the truck and got it.  As I topped the hill the hog came in view, he saw me at about the same time, jumped up and made a run towards me.  I fired from the hip even though I missed it caused him to turn, he ran out about 30 yards and turned broadside, I shot again and he went down for the count.  This incident taught me a lesson, I now carry my model 29 in the truck for just this purpose.  Had I ot had a gun the pig might have ran over me as there were no trees to climb or place to get out of it's way.  The darnn thing had tusk about 4 inches long, they could have done a lot of damage to an old man if he had got to me.
