2024 Hunting Picture Thread

[WisBorn]

Added another pair of pigs tonight. I like my 6.8 SPCs, but I think I’m going back to the 6 Creed for hunting at night. It’s just a different effect on target. The 6.8 kills pigs. 6 Creed kills them more. Especially on nights like tonight when the stalking is slippery, sloppy and sloshy, I appreciate the additional range of the 6 Creed as well.

Please shoot all of those destructive swine!

Ended at least 6 years of history this morning with a buck I call Slim Shady. Every year we check cameras and guess who’s back, back again. Well, he won’t be on camera next year. The deer in this part of Mississippi don’t alway carry the amount of mass we’d like, but this dude had main beams for days. A quick dose of 140 grains of Hornady SST from a 6.5x55 closed the book on him. Dead where he stood at 55 yards. I rough scored him at 137” with 24” main beams.

I hunt the Southwest part of Mississippi, and that is a shooter all day long in these parts. Well done @marksman13

Four more for the buzzards tonight. Realistically, it’s probably more like 7 or 8 for the buzzards as the video picked up several good “thumps” on pigs that were running and made it to the swamp with a lead injection.

Two more decent sized boars tonight. A third toted bullets into the swamp with him. Saw six pigs total tonight and all were medium to large, lone boars.

Me and the 6 Creed were passing out dirt naps like Mardi Gras beads tonight. Met my goal of killing a pig at 400 yards at night. We’ll go for 500 yards next week. Six pigs shot in total. Three recovered.

We closed the season with only does in the freezer. The grandsons made quick work of several nice fat one during youth weekend and we called it good.

On the buck side, we had half a dozen or so really nice 3yr olds that all made it through the season. They should be gooduns this year....
We were a bit concerned about the one in the front here. He managed to get off into a hog trap just before Christmas and was beat up pretty good before my cousin managed to get him out. This was the first sign of him after that.

My gosh you're getting lots of pigs....you must be in hog heaven?

I don't know where this dude was during deer season, but maybe he'll hang around for awhile.

Thank you, sir. It’s one of my favorite rifles for sure.

I am delighted to report that for the second year in a row, my #1 son called a big Tom in for his daughter. She is a very driven and sharp little girl. She folded the big turkey with her single shot turkey gun.

This was the second weekend of our youth season. She tagged this morning while we were in church.
She called to tell us about her hunt. She ended up telling us that, "every time I kill a turkey, my daddy cries a little".

Ps #1 son was using a mouth call that he made from a kit. He also made one for his brother and myself. Im looking forward to using mine in the morning. (Season opener) wish me luck!

Best of luck in the morning! And, as a single dad with a little princess that loves to go hunting with daddy, and who did this with her first ever shot with her BB gun (close supervision of course), I can totally say with absolute confidence and certainty that this daddy would “cry a little” as well.

Sweet rifle & cartridge and Faboulous deer! I've sure considered that #1 & 6.5 Swede in past! Well done all way around!

Traveled back to the UK to catch up with the children, grandkids and family and also a few days hunting. A Swedish mate came with me. A all round great weekend with 3 roe bucks, 6 muntjac and 2 fallow between myself, mate and our host. My Swedish mate managed to shoot another gold medal muntjac. The photo is one of two roe bucks I shot.

My turkey season started today. Only hunted a few hours this morning.
I had a nice morning seeing a few geese, four deer, and a bald eagle. Heard one gobbler.

If I fill my tag it will be with the old Western Field 150A 410.

Interesting seeing pictures for the other side of the pond.
