Thread: Anyone want a Free 308 cause mine is shite !!!!

You not having much fun Mohawk but a couple of points.A boar 70-90kg probably has a shield over his shoulders to get threw but at 30 meters a pill behind the ear is most like a better option or behind the leg in the engine room. But 3 pigs that size I'd be a little excited too.
Head shooting a deer at 100m off hand ,not easy either.Looking straight at you its not a very big target ,I'd be inclined to sit tight & wait for a clean shot .All easy said in hind sight aye but don't be too hard on your self is all part of the learning curve.
Horomanga is nice water shed ,did you try hunting the true left 1/2 way between Midway & Poplars .Round Red creek was a bit thick & shity as I recall. Are the flats still covered in grass ,well it is spring & should be some animals moving on the fresh growth.
This is taken on the front of Midway hut ,stag I shot in above mentioned area.

Not a bad head for the area I was told ,not normally as heavy in the beam

The rifle is a Miroku lever action .308 - 125gr Pro hunters @2,900 fps

Nice Stag there Chris! Going up the river I had a go at hunting the first stream on the right from the hut. There was sum sign but none of it fresh. Yep and the flats are covered in grass. Yep and in hindsight probably going for a shoulder shot on a pig was a silly idea, bit of rush of blood to the head on my part. Yep waiting for a better shot on the hind instead of going for a head shoot would have been a better move , all a learning curve. Little hard not to pull the trigger, guess it all comes down to experience and patience something I am lacking in ! Thanks for the advice.
