That sideways pic was about a 300 pound boar hog that decided to stand and fight in a water hole with steep banks. After the dogs caught him we had to haul him out.

I test em out early, if they cant get into hunting they arent gonna do very well with me. BTW Mrs. Podunk is an accomplished hog hunter and pending my completion of her rifle will start practicing to hunt mulies and javelina in west texas this fall.

Well a friend of mine Paul came over Saturday. We went to one of his places to hunt. Started off slow. So we just road around looking and talking. Late that evening stop to mace a stand where we had luck before. We set up the FX3 and the SpitFire in two diff. spots. We then started to play the same call. We would go up and with my caller and Paul's stayed the same. In just a few mins. we had a coyote coming in from our right. The wind was in are face and the sun was just over our right side. I told Paul that we had one coming in on his side. A few seconds he stop and was looking behind him. We thought there maybe a second one somewhere. We kept working the first one and then Paul told me we had a second one one my left coming in. So I turn to see him. He was behind a large bush and moving fast. So I looked through the scope and man all I seen was bush and fur. I forgot it was on 12 power. So I let one go as he went by. And by he went right on by. By that time the firs one was gone. I bark at the one running away and took a hale mary shot at about 800-900 yard. I must have got close to his tail feathers cause he kick it in high gear.

We then spooled up and move on down the road. We were going to another spot. I seen something up the road. I asked Paul if that was a calf or a hog. I pull up my rifle and looked through the scope and all I seen was the back side. kinda looked like 99er. Then she turn her head and I seen that it was a hog. So I waited for her to turn her head again and when she did I put it right behind her left ear. She went down like a ton of bricks. We were getting out of the truck to go look at the hog. When Paul yelled "there's one on my side!". I looked over the truck to see if I could find it. Man he was not joking that hog was right at the truck and getting closer to Paul. It was so close that all Paul could see in his scope was hog hair. The hog was about 3 or 4 steps from Paul and that's hog steps. He let one shot ring out and it hit the hog in his neck right behind it's head. Went down and to our surprise got up screaming and headed off. I didn't have a shot and Paul as well as mine were single shots. So we went tracking in the thick brush. Following the blood trail and some tracks. It was a long walk when we came up to a fence. Paul went under the fence and I went back to get the pickup. When I got back to where Paul was at he was out in the brush aways. I went to help him track the hog. When I came up on about a 4 ft. rattler. Well I don't hear to good and me and rattler don't get along. It was that time of the day for them to be out. So I put two rounds in him as he was coming at me. I told Paul that's enough I am going back to the truck. He was at the tall grass line where the hog went in. When he decided to call it. The sun was almost down and the rattlers were starting to move. That put a end two a good day hunting with a good friend. It don't get much better than that.

Thanks Paul for a great time.

Just one here. Don't ususlly take pics of them.

Land_Owner · « **Reply #128 on:** September 24, 2010, 01:56:15 PM »

That's a brute and worthy of a picture. He needed to be weighed too! Nice set up tripod for a hoist.

drdougrx · « **Reply #129 on:** September 24, 2010, 05:16:50 PM »

Very nice Mark! Heading Wild Hill....we'll see if I decide to take another.

Capt Rick Hiott · « **Reply #130 on:** September 27, 2010, 03:35:54 AM »

Here is a couple from the Charleston SC area.

Shot these three with my Marlin 336 30-30

.
Shot these with my Taurus RB 454

markc · « **Reply #131 on:** September 27, 2010, 04:44:13 AM »

Capt Rick, very nice. Love taking one with a handgun.
Doc, Landonwner, that was a sow actually. She was very heavy and I had a heck of a time getting her loaded on the Jeep hitch hauler. She was the first of 2 I shot out of a dozen or more that came in.

I need to buy a scale. The hoist came from Academy Sports N Outdoors. The legs are removable so I take it with me to the ranch in the hill country.

Land_Owner · « **Reply #132 on:** September 27, 2010, 07:22:36 AM »

Rick...very nice hogs! Shooting hogs in SHORTS! Now THAT's hunting in the South!!!

...and it isn't hard to tell that YOU are having fun.

I have shot only one sow, from 21 yards, with iron sights through my 45LC Ruger BlackHawk. I LIKED IT. I stood there, watching the sow drop in her tracks and the spray from the double shoulder punch through into the water hole beyond and NEVER NOTICED the LARGER boar that had been standing beside her, which skedaddled too fast to get off another shot. The ballistics of large caliber handguns are AWESOME on taking game. I should do that more often. But I still like sniping them from 100+ yards the best.

Capt Rick Hiott · « **Reply #133 on:** September 27, 2010, 09:38:13 AM »

The shorts,,,,Yeah. It helps!
We had a smokin hot summer here.
Broke a record on the most days over 90 degrees. With the humidity,,,The heat index was ruff!

Land_Owner · « **Reply #134 on:** September 27, 2010, 10:49:48 AM »

Now, do you keep that "Hog Leg" on the boat for subduing unruly sharks and denizens of the deep?

Capt Rick Hiott · « **Reply #135 on:** September 27, 2010, 12:56:32 PM »

Ha-Ha-Ha,,,,no way!
You have to be 3 or more miles offshore to discharge a firearm. I only charter inshore in the harbor and rivers.

Land_Owner · « **Reply #136 on:** September 28, 2010, 12:20:53 PM »

Now that's a Hoot! You mean we can float 3-miles off-shore, shoot the place up like a war, let the sound carry across the water (for a looooooooong way), and scare the hell out of the Beach and Boating Community - without repercussion?

Capt Rick Hiott · « **Reply #137 on:** September 28, 2010, 01:51:37 PM »

I have never tried it,,,but yeah I guess you could.
Some of the guys on the big sportfishing boats while heading offshore shoot at flying fish as they come out of the water and fly away......................

My last ride to a rice in Mercedes, Corrientes, Argentina: 2 Hogs.

One drop with my Vanguard .308W and the other by the CZ 30-06 of my buddy in hunts.

cw...content blurred to protect the innocent? What the heck is that white stuff in the back ground?

the three little piggies are NO MORE! Nice going! Are those head shots?

markc · « **Reply #144 on:** January 12, 2011, 05:17:00 AM »

Thanks Landowner and Doc. The property has a lot of good grass, but that part of Texas is rocky.

That pig came to the feeder all alone in the evening. Earlier that morning several were crossing the big hill (top right) and I shot one a bit over 100 yds.

3 years of hunting there, this is the first time I've seen much in the way of pigs. Evidence is there to some degree, but nothing like back home in Waller County.
