Here's one we shot last night, using thermal to spot, then my client shot this boar with a 12.5" barreled 6.8 SPC, using Barnes 85 grain TTSX's. 100 yards, DRT.

Re: 2010 Sniper's Hide Pork'n Swine Portfolio

Probably my favorite pig-slaying pic of all time. I shot these spotting with the HELGA (TAM-14 thermal on top) then sneaking in with the PVS-14 on the helmet, and then shooting with the suppressed, 12" 6.8 wearing the D-740 rfilescope. One DRT in its tracks, the other shot in the shoulder running by me, skidded to a halt and that was it. What a night....

This pig fell to one 85 grain Barnes TSX at 240 yards. Penetrated the shoulder blade and did not exit, but this huge 330 lb pig was DRT.

Here's another one of my client's hogs last weekend. Our weapon of choice: 12" 6.8 SPC with D-740 NVD and Jet suppressors. We shot handloaded 95 grain Barnes TTSX's using Re 10X and SSA brass. Both hogs were one shot DRT, as I have come to expect with 6.8 using Barnes bullets.

First kill with my .458 SOCOM, 300gr Barnes TTSX defines hammer.

This one was about 60yds.

This is how we were set up, the grass was a little tall for prone. This particular spot can offer shots out to 1150yds.

Good pigs all around guys. I was down in Texas in Feb. I went with some buddies. We each got 2 pigs and it was a blast. I'll try to get some pics up on here.

I just got back from OK.... took my first hog in the dead heat of summer (shitty time of the year to hunt, but it was cheap). This sow was shot on the run at 127 meters and took a 168 gr TAP to the neck.

Great pic everyone.

I'm dying to get my first crack and a hog! Does anyone know a good and reputable guide's service in the Alabama/Georgia area?

Much thanks,

Yep
 
Re: 2010 Sniper's Hide Pork'n Swine Portfolio

Are you guys shooting them just for sport/eradication? Cause if you know how to season and cook them they make some good eating. We take a couple a year and try to keep them between 60 and 80 lbs. The big ones are usually too tough to enjoy but they sure do tear up your property if you don't stay on top of them. Great way to teach first timers how to hunt. Nice pics!

Here's one from this morning. Maybe a little graphic for some. I hit it a little high and had to stick it with my knife to finish it off.


7/300 with 180 Bergers @ 2,920fps. So far, thats been a great hunting combo
