Still plugging away at the high fence property, trying to deal with the unwanted hogs trapped within the fences. The owner thinks there are still some big boars in there, but I don't know. This is about as big as I have shot so far. Maybe the big ones are hiding better?

I set up to watch a feeder and while the boar apparently passed close to it and spooked the deer, he did not go to the feeder and I spied him about 90 degrees off east of the feeder and moving away. I didn't have much of a shot, but made the best of it that I could...

Nice shoot. That SST does a number on the big hogs.

I really like Hornady SST for hogs. It is reasonably priced as far as hunting ammo goes and it does a lot of damage. It is not ideal for getting the most meat and isn't fur friendly for coyotes or bobcats, but it does make significant wound channels.

My favorite bullet with my 6.8 have been the Nosler Accubond. But I've killed more with the Barnes 110 gr TSX than another other bullet. That SST does a lot of meat damage.

The house next door is for sale. If you moved in we could be neighbors and maybe I could join the fun. Sure would be convenient, right?

As usual, great stuff DNS.

Y'all have some beautifully wooded properties down near Huntsville-ish way. I bet you got a lot of pigs, too!
