    Looking for hog hunts

    Yep that's right. For the first time in 35 years I don't have a place to hunt. Due to Obamanomics I had to close my business down and go get a job in the oil patch in Odessa Tx. I left hog heaven and now I am in hell. I am not looking for a free hunt just trying to find something kinda close...

    Anyone seeing hogs?

    I shot a good size one the morning after the THUNDER SLEET. I didn't recover him because he made into the cedars. I am still seeing fresh sign.

    Close call with a boar.

    That looks like the 525 gr Pile driver. I haven't tried those yet. The 300 gr TTSX and the 405 gr work great for me.

    Close call with a boar.

    Somebody else made the second shot on that hog. When the big puff of dirt or smoke went up the hunter was in recoil and his barrel was pointing up in the air. I like hogs close like that.

    458 Socom full auto fun

    My socom went full auto the first time I took it to the range. It dumped 5 rds with a single trigger pull. :O It would have dumped a full mag but 5 rds is all I put in. My firing pin was out of spec and a little to long. It slam fired all of them. I was shooting at the police range and I got...

    Recovered 120gr SST

    Yeah, its going to be hard for me to give up on the 120 SST. I was hooked on the 85 gr TSX until I got a chance to shoot some hogs at longer ranges. After seeing TLM's results its been my go to bullet.

    NVS on 458 Socom

    I never thought of my 458 S rifle kicking much, but my 12" AR pistol will bite you if you don't pay attention. lol

    90gr gold dot bullets

    I have shot a few hogs and a few deer at a little over 200 yards with the 85 gr TSX. One doe was shot at 285 yards. It was a neck shot and she died in her tracks and no bullet was recovered. Barnes list the 85, 110, 130 gr TSX bullets need a minimum velocity of 2100 fps for adequate expansion...

    90gr gold dot bullets

    The 85 gr TSX was designed for 270 velocities. Its expansion out of a 16" 6.8 gets questionable after a couple hundred yards. The 95 TTSX will expand better at longer ranges as will the 120 gr SST. I missed the warning on my box from SSA. lol

    90gr gold dot bullets

    "Has anyone tried the 85 grain Barnes tsx on hogs?" When I first got my 6.8 the 85 gr Barnes load from SSA was all I used. Killed quite a few with them. One was real close to 300lbs. They are good as long as you keep the shots under 200 yards. I now use the 120 SST.

    What is your method fo hog hunting

    When I am not stalking hogs in the daytime, I am hunting them under lights at night. All my feeders have led lights set ups on them. I don't have NV right now but I will soon. In my area NV isn't the best thing to hunt with but it will help me get around without being detected. I will probably...

    That's alot of trapped hogs

    We used to trap hogs on the game ranch I worked on. We made one that nearly covered an acre of land. We took a feed lot and wrapped the whole thing in cattle panels. We had a feeder and a water trough in it. It worked great for a while and then the hogs got smart and wouldn't get near it.

    five called hogs{video}

    I have a Flextone game call and it has some hog distress sounds on it but they have never worked for me. They are good sounds but if I was a hog I would run if I heard sounds like that. I have called hogs with a jackrabbit distress, but it doesn't work to often. I get close to hogs just because...
