return from hog hunt

[lew.45]

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!

Not what I personally would consider a "hunt" but to each his own and glad you enjoyed it.

Pics of the pig and damage or it didn't happen  ;D

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>

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!

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.

It couldn't be a real hunt in PA.  JK

They don't allow semi's for hunting anything.  Even squirrels, it's stupid.

Good shooting on the hog.
