3 for 3 Hogs + A Little Fancy Shooting

[Double Naught Spy]

Eight hours of hunting reduced down to 3:30 including slow-mo replay for 13 seconds of actual shooting.

I knew it would be a late night trying to help out my neighbor with some problem hogs that his game cam had showing up around 2:00 AM. I showed up early in the day and scouted his property, seeing plenty of damage and not just around the feeder area. So I figured I would hunt my place just up the road for the until about midnight and then show up well before the hogs were expected at his place. I had the occasional hog coming in and thought I might get lucky at both places. Nothing doin'. Between 5:30 and 11:30, I saw a total of 4 animals at my place, three of which were deer and one rodent.

I drove over to my neighbor's and crossed the property without seeing anything other than cattle and horses. I got to the winter wheat pasture next to the pasture where the feeder was and was searching for a place to set up to watch the feeder pasture when three hogs came in...

+ A Little Fancy Shooting

HAha, I'd say ... awesome betwixt the trees shot, especially given the timing.

Have you reconsidered moving down here?

On females, most folks will eat them of any size. On males many folks prefer 100 lbs or less, or not being stinky. All three of these probably would have been good to eat.

New to hog hunting, Hence this question : Is 300 win mag a good round for Texas hog or it’s too much. ?

It probably can be done with something smaller but if it works for the shooter, it's just right!

Not if you like banging the hell out your shoulder.

Nothing is too big if your not going to eat them.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I would rather go too big than too small when it comes to killing animals. As noted, you may lose a good bit more meat, but choose your shots wisely and that will be less of an issue.

I use a Grendel because it works well for me and my varied hunting situations...sort of a lowest common denominator gun. In some of those, something like a .300 win mag might be nice, but in some, it would not.
