The boys connected!!
« on: April 03, 2013, 03:27:40 PM »
My 2 sons are out of school for spring(Easter)break. When asked a couple months ago about where they wanted to go for vacation, they both said a hog hunt. So the wife set up a hunt this week at a game farm here in Ohio. Nice place, spent the night and got up Tuesday morning. First to hit was my youngest,Nick, 11 years old. Used a friends .357mag Marlin, and was a perfect bang-flop picture. 1 shot, tore up the heart/lungs, and didn't move more than 3' from where he hit it. My oldest,Nathan,14 did almost the same, using my .375Win. I had loaded 220gr. Hornady, which are a semi-pointed bullet, and I should have used a 240gr.flat nose cast. He caught the top of the heart, just hitting the lungs. Hog went down, didn't move, but he went up and finished him off with a pistol. Both went over 200lbs live weight. The meat is at the processors, so some good eatin is coming up. gypsyman

Good going boys.
Post some pics of the proud kids with their pre processed pork products.  There is a place here for all the pig pictures. 
You must be a proud Pappa.
