I was hunting with my trusty Savage 116 SS in 25-06. I love hunting South Texas for feral hogs. My buddy was filming and said I don't want to be tracking a hog thru this pear and mesquite. No problem, shot was about 90 yards and the 90 grain thru the brain proved to be more than he could tolerate. I killed another one from back in the brush about 20 minutes later. Placed the second shot right under the ear. Bang flop as well. Lots of fun and a great way to stay sharp in the summer.

Looks like he's in Texas judging by the type of blind and the brush surrounding the stand.

DRT for certain... I'm betting it was not a 223 but I might have to eat some crow on that one.

***EDIT*** Somehow I missed his last message before I posted mine and I think I was obviously wrong on saying it probably wasn't a 223.

BTW... Look at the tusks on that brown hog...

We have hogs on my hunting lease again and I'll be setting up on a powerline and suprising them from 400-500 yds as they show their undeniable attraction to corn.

From a place they will not see comes a sound they will not hear.

Yes sir it was South Texas with my 25-06.

I know that Texas is suffering from the exploding and barely controllable hog populations but it must make for some really fun hunting opportunities. Enjoy it... Hey... How fast is that 90gr pill traveling from the muzzle?

Is that an aftermarket barrel?

I notice a can of Aiming Fluid on the shelf off your left shoulder. Or is that an ash tray? We may never know.

I sold the rifle here on this site but I think I remember about 3200fps.

Yes it was aiming fluid, it gets really warm in South Texas.
