Author Topic: A small hog... (Read 1011 times)

I was hunting hogs on January 1st and happened upon a gang of about 10 sows and pigs. I was hunting with my Encore 209X50 blackpowder pistol and I selected the pig that was the closest; a small boar that weighed about 75 lbs. or so. Here is a photo.....

I was about 3-4 miles from the truck so I hoisted the pig from the nearest tree and skinned and deboned the pig pretty much right where he fell. I carried the meat out in my backpack and it should make some mighty tasty sausage. I hope to go back this weekend and use my Lyman GPR with a .50 caliber roundball.

Good going! Those 75 to 125 pounds are the way to go for eatin'!

I could not have resisted that either!
That one would have just about been a perfect fit
in my big Smoker!

I got this fellow last weekend with my Encore .50 caliber rifle. He's a little bigger!

Here's one more. This one was a sow that weighed about 100 lbs.
