Wild Boar Hunting with Air Pistol
« on: January 07, 2011, 11:13:44 am »
The recent Heavy rains got the wallows going, so yesterday I when to one of my old Bowhunting set ups, perfect for the shorter range of pistol hunting.

got there by 2 P.M. and only had to wait 45 minutes before this nice young boar came down the trail, he immediatly got into the wallow and started doing his normal hog things  ;D i had the scope on him for a while, he gave me a couple of good shots but I passed for the best I could get, he than finally faced me, put his head down to drink, that's when I squeezed the trigger, the Pistol jumped in my hand and after when I looked the hog was still ( only for a few seconds  ;) ), ......lights out.

I was shooting a .357 conical 105gr bullet

Right on Manny, I've been researching the big bore air riffles lately.  I love the air guns and love my 22 NP XL but want a big bore someday. ;D

Manny Thanks, Lulyn and I are long overdue for a trip to your area. ;D  We have been thinking along that line of thought when things on the home front settle a little.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Yeah Eddie, he came in after such little wait ( that never, ever happens ) that I was thinking, maybe I should wait for a bigger boar, than I remembered my motto,  " You get only one chance per day "....so I put the crosshairs on him and started the dance  ;) ;) ;)

If ever I find myself with a plane ticket to Hula-land, I am going to stuff my luggage with bribes/gifts for you Manny in hopes that I can spend a day hunting with you....looks like you are having a good time bagging invasive non-natives (oh crap...I'm one of those!)

No, but hunting over here is very limited, the headshot option and pinpoint accuracy to be able to thread the needle in thick cover surely gave me an edge, ......still have to get pretty close, not much more than bowhunting range, and yes that makes it a lot of fun indeed  ;D ;D

Git er done Manny. I like your hunting posts as well. I also like your quote " you only get one chance per day". If I had taken that approach I would have scored a whitetail this year, which I did'nt.  Danny
