Pigs CAPE YORK

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

Looks like your families are living high on the hog. Yeah, cheap joke.

I understand the Dingos are probably a nuisance/pest animal. What do you do with all that Hog meat or are they a pest as well? Or are they made into tasty sausage?

@BeeMaa
Most pigs I shoot are left to rot as they have been feeding on carion. Pigs taken off good pasture are usually good eating tho. Depends on where you hunt as to being able to eat them

@rdog Hello can nonresidents of Australia hunt dingos?

@North America 36
Yes but they are cunning bastards.

If the frog is sinking its probably dead and no good for bait.
The best bait for ALL fishing is Alfred Nobel bait.
Half a plug of gellie. Garruntee to get fish but a tad noisy.

@rdog
Take your son out and slap him silly for buying a useless pissant cartridge like the 243.
I could live with him getting a Toyota, but owning a 243 is worse than admitting your gay to a catholic priest.

My dad told me about that one but he used a can with a rock in it to sink the can. The lid was held on with multiple wraps of string tho.

When i was in Vietnam the Vietnamese army used more M26 grenades on fish in the rivers than on the VC .my younger son makes pork sausages out of some pigs when the seasons are good & they are not eating dead things.

When I lived in Nicaragua, I've been part of a little dynamite fishing. Never jumped in the water, I was too young. LOL!!!!!

Nice hogs!!!

 

[Whitebear995]

I would go with 308 if hogs are on the menu and 150 yards are all that you will be shooting at game, and the 308 will handle target shooting to 300 yards no problem. I have both, and like them both for different reasons, but in your situation, 308 seems the right choice. Heavier available bullets in the .308 for big hogs than the .270.

Glad to see that both of your sons hunt with you. Mine do the same, are you working on the grandsons yet. Nothing like hunting with family. BTW you guys got some nice hogs.
