Thread: Taking the 6mm-204 & Veitnamcam for a stroll.

I have been trying to get some more pork for a little while now, it has been fairly dry where I hunt & there seems to be very little sign around.
They are fairly hard to get sitting at home so I txted Cam to see if he wanted to go for a walk again last night.
I decided to put a VX3 4.5-14 x 40 CDS on the T3 6-204 to see how the 87 SP Hornadys go on game at a leisurely 3050fps & it's always nice to blood a new rifle.

The weather was looking okayish with only a 98% chance of fog with a nice bit of moonlight to walk in

We managed to find a Boar about 65 lbs looking over his shoulder at us, arse on, a shot I have had plenty of trouble with over the years

He was about 70m away & fell over at the crack of the 6mm & the smack of the 87sp hitting him, we were finally on the board

About bloody time & the 6mm was no longer a virgin



We had a look at another spot but only found plenty of old rooting & wisps of the dreaded fog
We could see plenty more fog around the corner where we were going next which wasn't a particularly good sign.
When we got there is was pretty patchy but decided on a game plan & started up the hill.
It is a reasonably steep little pinch up there & after a few stops we got to the fench line track at the top.
We had a look around & a wee rest so I could stop puffing so much
We both heard some sticks cracking up to our left & thought it was a little noisy for a possum so we headed over there in the fog.
Cam had the light on & we finally made out a Boar through the fog, facing towards us.
I didn't need telling twice & at around 50metres the 6mm had it's second victim rolling down the hill to a free hand shot, I'm really starting to like this little rifle



He went 95lbs with nasty little hooks.



I bowled him down the hill towards the ute & we continued on.
The fog was coming & going, making a nuisance of itself, not uncommon for this time of the year in the Rai Valley....
We continued on in the fog until we got to another track & heard some pigs up a gully in the scrub, we waited for a while listening to them hopeing they would come down into the paddock but it was not to be.
The fog was getting thicker & thicker so we turned around to go & pick up the Boar & drag him the 100metres or so down to the ute
Then it was a nice drive home to drop the pigs off.

I must get going now & skin them, looking forward to seeing the damage those 87s made
