Well got out this morning before the rain decides to get here. Was a beautiful morning in the 60's and over-cast with an unusual wind coming out of the northeast. I wasn't able to get out and scout and the primitive weapons season opened this weekend on Fort Stewart(a lot of Ga boys are gonna be mad!) Well as I was sneaking down a trail looking for deer sign, this fella was coming down the same trail headin right towards me. As soon as his head was behing a pine I took a knee and cocked my flinter. He kept coming and at 40 yards I took the shot. TVM Early Lancaster .50 cal, 70 grains of 3f with a .490 round ball .018 patch. Dropped him right where he stood. First kill for this gun.

Sorry about the pict, the adrenaline was flowing.

My family was visiting the Fort Stewart area back in the 80's and one evening we saw a few wild pigs had a couple teen agers 'tree'd' on top of a dumpster. We honked the horn and the pigs ran away. Those two kids were mighty happy that we showed up. The kids were hollering and scared as hell of them hogs.

Do you have to have a tag for hogs? Or are they shoot on sight like some other places?


Good hunting!
:thumbsup:
 
Thanks everyone! Supercracker there wasn't that much traffic in the woods. Cynthialee they are considered a nuisance animal and an invasive species. No limit and no closed season on hogs here!! :hatsoff:
 
You got a tasty porker with a fine rifle and that's as good as it gets. When fall comes is when I really miss Ga. Well I lived there for over 60 years and never took a hog. But talk about deer.....
