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.
And, while not good to eat, these are helpfull when packing in and out. This is Shelly the Mule, my most excellent riding and packing mule.
