Well... I just got back from a Texas hog hunt. It was not quite what I was expecting, the webpage seemed to misrepresent the place considerably. I still had fun though, it was a great time. We had 4 people hunting with us, and ended up with 6 hogs. I was 6 for 11 shooting, all on the run, except one (it was the big one, but it was already dead, we just wanted to make sure). I took out my Saiga 12 gauge once, and only had one really bad shot, but took it and missed. I took out my new RRA AR-15, and with an Eotech 552 on it, I hit a 250 lb'er from about 175 yards out 3 out of 5 shots on a full run through a lot of trees. I was pretty proud of that, however it STILL didn't go down, so I wasn't proud of that. We ended up finding it about 2 hours later under a tree. I won't take it hog hunting again. Finally, I used my 7mm Rem Mag the last time we went out, and I dropped two pigs with it.
Amazing story, we scared out two and my buddy shot one with a .243, the other was running along our line broad side (only 100lb'er), a guy we were with shot it was a .500 S&W, it rolled, got up and kept running, a guy shot it with a 300 Win Mag, it kept running, and I smoked it with my 7mm Rem Mag and dropped it where it stood. After examination, ALL THREE shots were lung/heart shots, and there was some gaping wounds, I couldn't believe the adrenaline rush that that hog must have been running on.
The second one I shot was a bang flop on a trot from about 30 yds away. It didn't go far. It ended up being real fun, and pretty successful.
Here are some pics, enjoy!
