First day hunting this year and first time hunting with my m14. Here are some pictures if I can load them of rifle and hogs.

And a good looking pair they are!!

 

[mercman]

Nice!!! What range did you take those beauties at?

 

[cat doctor]

I shot the black one a little over a 100 yards. The big red one was shot by my son with a Remington 700 25-06 at a little over 200 yards.

Good shooting! I haven't shot a hog yet, are they a regulated game animal or are they classified as pests? Are there seasons for them?

 

[cat doctor]

In Alabama they are classified as a game animal until you take possession. Then they revert to pest. No bag limit and no closed season.

I like all three - the two hogs and the rifle. It looks like you had a good hunt.

That is what the intended purpose of my m14 is (to the wife anyways). Hog hunting. Good shooting man.

I don't know of any state where feral hogs are considered anything but a nuisance animal.
Nice shooting. You need to cook one whole and have a party.

What bullet/load did you use, and what were the results?

I've been blessed to be hog free here on my home place for several years (knock on woodGI2), but they're still overrunning most everyone in my area.

I have thousands of acres on which to hunt them, but I rarely get around to it. There's always something more important to do, but rarely something more fun!

I used 165 grain federal fusion. The shot from a 100 yards was a complete pass through of both shoulders. The exit wound was the size of a quarter.

nice hunt.... do you eat the meat....and is it good????

 

[mercman]

I don't know of any state where feral hogs are considered anything but a nuisance animal.

I guess I was just wondering if the gubmint had found a way to cash in on these 300 pound rats!! I know that these bovines cause huge damage to crops, the environment and native critters, but if the man can find a way to cash in on something HE usually will.................GI3

Free Meat

They cook up real nice here in NW Arkansas.

Way too many of them doing way too much damage.

Farmers around here say "Go Gettem, the more the Better".

Good sausage meat too!!!!

[Eat Beef]

nice hunt.... do you eat the meat....and is it good????

While I can't answer the first question, I can say that one can eat the meat.

The answer to the second is an unequivocal no.GI2 ///zips up flameproof suit///GI6
