wild hog taken with a cva mountian rifle

[ThunderHeart]

shot this hog in Mason TX last sunday evening with a cva mountian rifle in .50 cal at about 30-40 yards while running ! and people tell me you can't kill anything with a patched round ball !! shows what they know !.....

Nice hog, nice shot, and nice rifle. Those Mt. Rifles are a good gun.

 

[ThunderHeart]

Wow that's a nice Hog!How much did it weigh & any ivory(tusks) :applause: !

 

[JeffinNZ]

Oh yeah, those round balls are good for nothing. :rotf: :rotf:
This time next week I will be chasing wallabies (small kangaroos) with my .40cal flinter and trust me, them roos don't like round balls. :thumbsup:

Cheers

Nice hog, Thunderheart! How much do you think it weighed? I know an old-timer used to shoot matches in the '70s and he still raves about the CVA Mountain rifle.

 

[ThunderHeart]

yeah he had some cutters or tusk guess it depends on where your from as to what ya call em they were about one and a quater inches not real big but big enough to hurt ya if he had ever got a hold of ya LOL
as for the weight i would guess him at around 150 not real big but big enough to get a nice amount of meat from .

That was a great hunt bro! Can't wait to do it again.

I used my CVA .45 cal Kentucky, a .440 hornady round ball, .015 wonderlube patch, and 80 grains of FFg. I know what ya mean when we get told "Ya can't kill nuthin with a patched round ball, CVA's don't shoot worth beans". I got that hog at about 30 yards. Ya just gotta pick yer shots!

Thunder hearts hog went about 175 with 1 1/2 of ivory showin. Mine went just a tad bit more. Thunder heart, I'm savin yer ivory so I can get em to ya next time we go huntin.

Nice hogs fellas! Gettin' me one of them critters is "on my list". We don't have 'em up here in the Great White North, so it's an other good excuse to take my .62 flinter and go south. :haha:

 

[Riley/MN]

Hey, that looks like fun! I got me a CVA Mountain Rifle, can I come out 'n play? :grin:

Congrats on your hogs guys!! :hatsoff:

No sir, on a private ranch. Aint much public land in Tejas, and what little of that there is is crowded. We hold a couple of these hunts a year, one in March, one in June for kids, and one in August. Great fun!
