| Some nice chewing pork there,just out of interest what calibre is your suppressed rifle? I borrowed a suppressed 243 shot a reasonable pig with it a couple of weeks ago,it went down like a sack of spuds then jumped back up and ran 200 metres in to the gorse where we lost it gutted. |

Bummer. 7mm08 - have had nothing get up & run away as yet, always try to tuck it in the neck or head shot. Don't always take the gun sometimes I take My dog & just stick them. ------------- Life is short so make the most of every day. www.oceanangler.co.nz www.fullonfishing.co.nz |

blew a hole in the guts of a big sow with 7mm08 at 5 feet, the other day, dead as a dodo. had my dog pinned to the ground by his guts, no choice so it was a gut shot. I don't usually shoot my pigs, but glad I had my gun with me. ------------- Beautiful is better than ugly, Explicit is better than implicit, Simple is better than complex, Complex is better than complicated. http://oceanmobilemap.blogspot.co.nz/ |

Nice hooks on some of those pokers. How have you found them for eating? My experience of animals we caught near Kaikohe was not that good. ------------- Stand up to be seen, speak up to be heard. BUT shut up to be appreciated. |

Hi Tinfish. I just bone out the Boars & turn into sausages & turn the Sows back legs into Hams or Pickled Pork. Mix the Pork with a few herbs & some Mutton & they taste blo-ody good. The rest goes for Dog tucker. Hers a couple more. Little 50lb Boy.  My new PB 160lb whole 125lb clean.   ------------- Life is short so make the most of every day. www.oceanangler.co.nz www.fullonfishing.co.nz |

A few more Piggies. A nice fat little Sow.  Big fat Sow over the 100lb mark.  My latest & a new PB for Me & one that will take some beating(for Me that is). Not a monster to some but is to Me. Went 150lb gutted & beheaded, the head went 25lb so 175lb. My first Pig over 200lb, was a very happy camper. Photos dont do it justice.   Happy Days.......  ------------- Life is short so make the most of every day. www.oceanangler.co.nz www.fullonfishing.co.nz |

Nice boar, beats my best by 20lb. FYI pig weights are usually reported as clean weight (guts out, head on). Get one over 200lb clean and you are in a very elite club! |
