That is a healthy looking hog! What ammo did you use and how many pounds did it dress out?
I live in the highest pork producing state and in the highest pork producing congressional district in the country, never seen a wild hog here. Even before all the confinements were built you just never saw a stray, always seemed a little odd that a few wouldn't get loose and go feral.

Thanks for the link. I had never heard of this supplier. Unfortunately I put 2 eight pound kegs in mu shopping cart and then found out that it is out of stock. :(

If you have a hard time getting him, or you are not happy with responses, let me know. I also have his personal cell that I could provide via private message but I'll save that as a last resort. Let's try and go through normal channels first and hopefully he'll be able to at least give you some kind of time frame.

He has been a "stand-up" guy for us so far and has done "OK" with prices and I would say VERY well on customer satisfaction - even during the bad times with the panic and all.

Let me know if you need it.

It was taken in FL in a real swampy area that is overrun with feral hogs. This was one smart hog. We have been trying to get him for 3 years and even tried using hog dogs. He was destroying our deer feeders, cameras, etc. so we named him Clyde after Clyde Barrow, of Bonnie and Clyde fame. It was like he was spying on us and knew when we were coming and going and would always show up on our game cameras just before we arrived or just minutes after we left. We tried all kinds of times day and night and he was always one step ahead of us. I finally moved my stand twice the distance away from the deer feeder and that did the trick, head shot at about 200 yds. On the kill night, he came out of the swamp/woods 195 yds downwind of the feeder and right at my feet. Too close to chance standing and taking a shot. He backtracked into the woods from where he had come and I thought there he goes again outsmarting us. About 30 minutes later, he reappeared at the feeder where I ended his destructive life. He weighed in at 275 lbs. Took him with Remington 150gr CoreLokt PSP at about 10:30pm.

About 2 weeks before I got him, I shot 3 hogs in one shot at this same feeder at about 100 yards. I shot 4 total that night, all head shots. After shooting the first hog, they all scattered so I just waited and about 20 hogs came back in after only waiting about 15-30 minutes. I waited until 3 heads were lined up and all 3 fell in their tracks. Took a lot of patience to line up 3 hogs because hogs don't stand still but about 5 seconds. The last exit hole was about the size of a softball. Fun night. Also made me famous in our hunting club.

Damn. That's some good shooting. Most of the times that I've seen people used Remington Core-Lokt ammo, regardless of caliber, they can't get it to group. There was one guy with a .243 or something that shot great with it though. I just figured his rifle was an exception. With performance like that though, I may have to give that a serious second look.

Love the look of your rifle too by the way.

Agree. I wouldn't trust a head shot with this ammo past 200 yds although he had a big head. I get about a 1 inch group at 100 yds with this ammo. I almost took a lung shot, but I was afraid he'd run into the dense swamps and I'd lose him. So, as they say, I took the shot. I have some reloads in another clip for shots past 200 which give me a third to half inch groups at 100. My reloads are 155gr Palma Sierra Match Kings being pushed by 46 grs of Varget max OAL to fit in a clip. Sorry magazine for those that are offended by clip. :dual:
