Last weekend in TN. Seems a .257 110gr Accubond behind the ear didn't agree with him.![]()
Hunted pigs when I was in Moffett and Pearl Harbor, both places produced poor tasting pork. How is TN swine?
Cool! .257 Roberts? Hunted pigs when I was in Moffett and Pearl Harbor, both places produced poor tasting pork. How is TN swine?
That's why I do my hunting here:
Why?
- It's cheaper.
- The meat tastes better.
- I don't have to gut it.
- I don't have to haul it.
Hunting just seems like a lot of unnecessary work. I don't think I'll ever quite understand it.![]()
Yep, .257 Bob (the cutting edge of 1920 cartridge design) . MRC short action, Lilja barrel, McMillian carbon fiber stock and a Leupold 2.5-8x33, whole thing is Cerracoated.
This one should be good. He's a a boar but not too big, about 160 lbs. Trim the fat off and low and slow cooking on the grill or the smoker with a good rub will do them wonders. Also taking one of the hams in for curing Virginia style and I'll likely grind a bunch and make breakfast and some other types of sausage.
I don't hunt, but my old man does. I could tell the difference between a warm winter deer and a hard cold winter deer, as well as one that was feasting on farmers corn and another that was scrounging. Diet and environment/climate play a huge part on how it tasted, I can only imagine its the same for hogs.
Thats what is good about hunting deer in Ohio. You can't drive 5 minutes without running into a massive corn field. Most of them are so fat on corn, there is hardly any 'gamey' flavor in them.
Downside... no Rifles.

If I ever sat down to figger out how much that pound of dove breast or crappie really cost me, I'd probaly just shoot myself.![]()
