billeisele 130 #26 January 23, 2007 Ted Barta woulda done it with a home made bow It is more exciting when the quarry can hunt you!!Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #28 January 23, 2007 Quote Quote aimed his 300-mag out the driver's window at the big boar about 175 yds. away and fired Dude, isn't that SUPER loud, especially as it was in a car? I've been pidgeon shooting without earplugs and it hurt like hell. ______________________________ Oh yeah, we wear ear plugs (at least) and that mag of his is a loud sumbitch! I've been told, that 30.06 of mine is loud but, I don't notice it when I'm shooting. I've got a Remington, model-721 with a BSA 3x9 scope. Nothin fancy but, it'll do the job!

I always thought, it would be so cool to hunt them with a bow. I had read a book by the late, Howard Hill and he wrote of hunting them from horse-back. I'll stick to my rifle!

Walt _________________________________ When it was all over, Johnny told me to hold my hand out (to see if it was shaking)... like Gibralter! I wanted to hunt some more! I forgot to mention, that hog had double-tusks on each side. I'd never seen that before. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
