European Hog Mount

[Va Hunter]

I took this hog in April 2022 in Tennessee, got it back a couple months ago. 560 pounds, got right at 200 pounds of sausage out of him.

Very cool. One day I would like to go hog hunting.

560 pounds? That was a hog of a pig.

Damn. That's a lot of pork chops. And back ribs. And rib ribs. And bacon. And ham.

Nice work on that sucker.

Holy smokes VA hunter, that there's a biggin! Congrats and I like the mount also. What weapon and caliber did you use?

From the Photo ,you sure you weren't shooting Hairy Mamoth ??

 

[Va Hunter]

Took him with a 7mm mag. Distance was about 60 yards. Guide told me to put it in his shoulder, and all the hog did when I shot was flinch and started to walk away. Put the next round in the base of his neck and he went down.

 

[Decay]

Did you see what your bullet did lnside his shoulder. I’d bet that layer of cartilage was over 2” thick

 

[Va Hunter]

I didn’t see the damage that was done. I was hesitant about the shoulder shot knowing it’s almost like steel plate but the guide insisted on the shot. I did get a note in with the processed meat that said “Both shoulders damaged”

 

[fishdfly]

Not like a steel plate at all.

In fact if you castrate a boar hog, it will dissolve.

I shoot lots of hogs with a .222 thru the shoulders.

 

[GREENSWYLDE]

.222" A Great Little tool.

 

[fishdfly]

There are folks here who hunt hogs with dogs and use a knife to dispatch them. They have more true get than I.

 

[Decay]

I did that one time and I'll guarantee that I'll never do it again. That's killing like you don't want to do it. It might be good practice for someone in the military, but not for anybody else.
