lew.45 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Well I just returned from my hog hunt! The hunt was in Northwestern Pennsylvania at a place called The Pig Farm. The owner has 3,000 acres. 100 acres are set up with hogs. I used my .308 DPMS Oracle with an Eotech sight. I used Federal Premium Vital Shock 180 grain Trophy Bonded Tip ammo. There were 5 buddies in my hunting party. I was driven to a tree stand in a quad all of us were spread out and secluded in our stands. I saw 30-40 hogs in the first hour! I shot my hog at about fifty yards and dropped it on the spot with one shot. It weighed in close to 350 #'s. We all had a great time and definately plan on returning next year!

planeflyer21 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Those hogs are getting to be like crop busting rats in some parts of the country. Over in W. Texas some of the ranchers are paying bounties on them.Oh yeah...where are the pics?! <munch>Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 :sniper:The hogs are causing a lot of damage some escaped from contained grounds opened to shooters just to be shot.Mich. will pay a bounty[in the U.P.].Some have to be alive for testing before they can go to the food bank.A guy I think in Texas uses nightvision 3-4 guys whacked 40-50 one night.Shoot on bro.

lew.45 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I will get pictures up as soon as I get time. I have always wanted to do a wild hog hunt and this was the closest spot I could do it from geographically. Judge me as a poor hunter if you want but I had a blast! The hog is at the butcher now, I will pick it up tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I was talking with a guy that had several on their family farm. They culled them out, shooting them and dumping them in a ditch on the back forty.He said the crows, buzzards, coyotes, wouldn't even touch the dead hogs. Weird.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr3db3ar Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 It couldn't be a real hunt in PA. JKThey don't allow semi's for hunting anything. Even squirrels, it's stupid.Good shooting on the hog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
