    2 Sows (+5 Onboard) & 1 Piglet

    Love grass is excellent graze. As this isn't a hay pasture, he isn't apt to mow it very often.

    Yeah, but piglets in 'tall' grass is not a good combination.

    I am kicking myself for not trying to line up 2 or 3 with the opening group of little hogs. Live and learn (hopefully). Otherwise, not a terrible night...

    Yeah, in cattle country, cattle are a necessary evil with hog hunting. However, part of the reason the hogs are there are because the cattle are there, so you make the best of it.

    Gave Up & Paid For It

    I drive around to survey my properties. I try not to spend too much time looking at other properties because of all the hogs that I see on them, LOL Sounds like you had a great time. Congrats!

    See, I keep a 100 yard zero and nailed the hog just fine. The reason why I don't like a 200 yard zero is because few of my shots are at 200 yards. Why zero for a distance you don't shoot the most? Ben's problem was too heavy of a bullet for too little velocity, resulting in too much drop...

    Well done! I am always surprised how quiet hogs can be when they want to be.

    Frontal Running Shots Are Usually Exciting...

    The scope is set at 60 hz in order to do video. HOWEVER, the recorder only does 30. So the video is in 30.

    LOL, at the time, I didn't know what would happen, but I think he was just running scared. Due to zoom, he looked a lot closer than he was, although he eventually ran by me within 10-15 yards. I was to their north and from the north is where they usually enter the property, but there is a lot...

    Back to LSA's MPCE, Ammo Testing, and More Hogs

    I like the TNTs, but with the 1:75" twist on this barrel, I think it may be too fast and the group size opened up to close to 2" at 100 yards, so TNT is not my choice for this rifle. No, the skinny sow was actually on the last property where I shot the two boars among the cattle. Good...

    Back to LSA's MPCE, Ammo Testing, and More Hogs

    I got the Lone Star Armory rifle back from Ben and got some new ammo to try in it. Accuracy was great. Federal Fusion show well under 1" at 100 yards and Hornady Black ELD-M shot a half inch at that distance. I don't recall having particularly good feelings about either bullet type based on...
