    summary to my new member statement:

    Summary to my CA pig that would not die. I as stated in my about you statement had watched this hog use cows as cover with a spotting scope x 2. He would mix in with the cows who I later found out did not appreciate it. The day i choose to hunt him was a perfect wind, tried two times before but...

    Calling hogs

    Yes, But I called in a 5.8 inch wide front paw Black Bear, estimate 7 foot in length . At 10:30 pm packed in 8 miles is not a welcome quest, but that for another day, case point... I do not predator or pig call in California at night anymore, fruit of the loom cost too much. Not to mention the...

    Who has the larges population of hogs

    I will throw a juggernaut in the mix, California. Most land locked on private ranches that want 300-500 just for a meat pig, guess what? Money is running out as well as Hunters in the Golden State. Most Farmers/Ranchers will be in 5-10 years paying said amount for hunters to kill em. Greedy...

    Apollo Pro

    actually found the two screws on the bottom had worked loose, tighten up and with a properly sighted in 338 fed. , 3x9 Leopold clip on placement took a large boar at 156 yards. Lazar ranged him working to me with the Leica range finder, then switched over from IR 6.5 to the 338 , barrel switch...

    Custom AR-10

    sorry for the delay, been busy studying for board exam, still for sale, I knew it was dumb to ask about suppressor, need a stamp which is not transferable, dummies on me.

    PVS 14 or Thermal

    I use an Apollo pro 30 hrtz, 50mm, thermal, will not hold zero in front of scope, minimal with termal as primary optics, sorry for delay , studying for a board exam renewal.

    Custom AR-10

    Can you send it to SC after I see some range data from loads mentioned, how many rounds though her, does she have a name and does the thermal come with it? Always looking for another project....

    Looking for Help with First Thermal

    great for spotting game, love watching my English Setter do her rounds in the park on Sepia or white hot. Just have not achieved the reproducible accuracy, using as a sighting optic , stand alone or in front of day optics, especially day optics accessory. Arm a slight Pro Apollo 50 mm 30 hrtz...

    AR10 .308 Hog Bullet

    anything but Leigh defense 152 grain controlled chaos. There is not enough penetration for a large pig, sow or boar. I like 168 gr or the 150's Tap Ammo, it's what our SRT team uses, excellent results. The 150 gr BT from Nosler does quit well also in my hands, Berger VLD's likewise. BTW, the...

    PVS 14 or Thermal

    just y 2 cents worth as I purchased both up front. Traditionally I am a bow hunter from SC. We have very liberal limits either sex, quit rifle hunting till recent due to RCS repair and surgery. ( Shoulder surgery). I am a one shot wait for the right angle shot or pass guy because I do NOT like...

    sorry, it moved to the right of the scope zero.

    Apollo Pro

    Quick question, but I think I may know the answer. Yesterday at the range, shooting Thermal in front of a Leopold 3x9 .308 it would not hold zero, that is each shot moved to the left. I had my IR Steiner mounted on the right side of the armasight unit. Would this, the weight affect the unit...

    Hog rifle suggestion

    I shoot a .338 Federal in an AR-10 Platform from Wilson, mostly in CA ( 200 grain speer hot core)., In SC I use the .458 HMR from again Wilson, similar to the SCOM but about 200fps faster ,same bullet. The 300 grain BT from Nosler are bombs.>308 is fine as is my 6.5 creed moor with 143 grain...

    Pigs always squeal when hit? (assuming they aren't DRT)

    And a You also need a Forensic Pathologist to do the post Mort. CNS hits are DRT, no noise, maybe some leg flops, my experience a gut shot or extremity shot hog will let out a brief squall, unlike bears and the death moan which usually they at times vocalize if mortally wounded , I have not...
