Thread: Here Piggy Piggy

Stinking hot here again but I wanted to head out before sunrise to watch some more Red hinds with fawns I have been keeping an eye on over Summer, by 0730 it was already getting pretty hot with sweat dripping off my face as I sat and watched a Red Hind with Fawn feeding away on a bushy face, with the whole day ahead I moved further along the valley floor to see what else was around, I spotted this young boar rooting about in some soft ground, he was completely oblivious to my presence as I lined him up, I thumped him in the ribs just back of the shoulder and he ran about 30 yards to the bush edge, I knew he wouldn't get far as I walked over to where he hit the bush, I found him dead and on inspection the bullet had come out through the opposite shoulder, I gutted him to find the heart and lungs just a blooded pulp.
Only a young pig he weighed 93lbs gutted, I'm not all that keen on wild pork unless processed, so I will bone out the whole thing and use for sausages, there is a smoked maple flavour I want to try so cant wait to get that under way

Awesome. I haven't shot a pig in ages. Dad got two boars last week, a 150lber and 180lber.

That's a couple of whoppers he got, yeah it had been a while since my last pig as well, after shooting a lot of deer sorting out a pig is like skinning an ugly chimpanzee.

Haha yeah I'm not a fan of dealing with the stinky f**kers. The old man usually gets one or two big boars a year on the farm, have got a few over 200 in the last couple of years. They seem to just roam thru and he is always carrying a rifle with him for the day he runs into pigs.

Great result oneshot....living up to your name

Smoked maple sausages sound good! Good work mate

Whats the rifle man? Looking at a single shot myself, that looks nice

Bergara or more commonly known as a CVA scout rifle.

Never looked at them like chimps but they do look similar! Haha.

Exit wound


Bullet found just under the skin on the shoulder


Dangerous set of gnashers for a small pig

don't you mean entry hole?

If your referring to that last photo of the shoulder, that is the exit hole.

How do you get an exit hole when you find the bullet under the skin on the other side of the shoulder?

Exit as in which way the bullet is travelling, the bullet exited through the shoulder and lodged under the skin. I didn't realise this was a case for CSI ?? I thought it was pretty straight forward.
