Gents I am headed out for my first ever hog hunt tomorrow

Wanted to see some of yalls best hogs

We have a big ole Russian red boar that’s been roaming the creek bottom we’re headed too, hoping we find him as he’s scattering the deer when the feeder throws.

This one is still on the hoof. I’m guessing 250.

Also, any special considerations when using a bow on hogs?

Hahahaha....no sir.....We cut the head off and I had it euroed. Yotes had the body cleaned up in a day. He was just too dang big to get to the truck from where we were at. I was a guest with Fishndude at his and elliscountyhog's place on the Trinity.

FND, said I got this good sized pig I want to shoot. He put me in an old delapidated barn on the ground in a chair 20 yards from that feeder. I get all set up and he sends me that feeder picture. "Oh by the way here is a pic of him.

You'll know its him when he steps out"..

.. I'm like that's a **** grizzly and I'm sitting on the ground at 15-20 yards with no blind protection.

All that said, he came in late and after dark and after 20 minutes of him moving in and out, I made a good shot. We found him dead at 40 yards.

Fishndude has killed a bunch of hogs and weighed some big ones in teh mid to upper 200s. He said if he'd seen a 300 lb hog, this was one and he doesn't use that number at all.. It took all we could to get him up on that log for pics and I'm a real big ol boy. I just say 290...

Only considerations .....shoot to kill....take a pistol and a good light when tracking ! Don't wound em...

I regurgitated that from FND and Skinny..

Bassdeer · 11-08-2018, 09:43 PM

Not mine but it will get you pumped up.

Fishndude · 11-08-2018, 09:44 PM

Low Fence · 11-08-2018, 09:49 PM

Never weighed. This young man shot it with 243. I tracked it and bayed him. Shot him 5 more times and he never fell. I took the gun and last bullet and point blanked him in the head. I shook for an hour. We couldn’t budge him with two healthy grown men and too much water to get anything to drag out. He would have been close to 300 +\-

Fishndude · 11-08-2018, 09:49 PM

Low Fence · 11-08-2018, 09:51 PM

Biggest to date. Broke scales @ 320 with head on ground. S hook straightened and scale blew up like a land mine....

Hawkins · 11-08-2018, 09:51 PM

Killed last week. Weighed maybe 225

That is wrong.
Someone once said you can't shoot one too low, nor too far forward.

You'd better have me out there to do some dirty work for ya

Thanks for the heads up, appreciate it. I reckon the armpit is an easy reference point
