Hog Hunt Coalinga, CA June 20th By Randy Tidwell

BDB,

I couldn't agree more. This bullet showed no evidence of the core being bonded to the jacket.

I have always used Hornady bullets for deer and I like the Nosler Particians for hogs.

The last hog we shot last year was taken with a Nosler 180 grain Partician, I liked the wound channel alot better with it. We didn't find any of this bullet, went straight through him. This was a nice hog also......

Amazing how easy it is to make them look bigger, lol

That boar chased this one back down to Randy's (RNJ) property Saturday morning. Wished he had followed this 170 pounder back accross the fence and you would have seen that sucker with my picture.

These pictures were taken less than 100 yards from where you took the picture with the rock formation in your picture.

I shot a forked horn in B zone this year. Uphill through the vitals and into the spine. 165 Grain Rem. Core Lokt. The recovered bullet looked like yours and weighed about 50 grains or maybe less. Not what I would call impressive!!!! They shoot great and kill lots but I don't really like how the bullets hold up.[/b]

BDB, deer season start early for you this year? I know you're off to Boston but no reason to poach a deer on your way out!

Coldone,

If you are in the same area, you know how nice it is. Hard to find people that will let you hunt on their land because they have been screwed so many times.

That is a nice meat hog, personally, I would rather take one that size that the big ones. I am not a trophy hunter, I am a meat hunter.

I couldn't make out your rifle, what did you nail him with? How far was the shot?

I am not in those pictures, as I am the one who was taking them. The hunter in the picture is a friend of mine and was one of 5 other hunters we had up at RNJ that weekend. Here is a picture of me.

Yes the area is amazing, both the scenery and abundance of game. And because of that people often end up tresspassing and poaching animals. Guess that is why the wardens patrol that area so much. As for the rifle that Mark was using it was a 7mm ultra mag. After the boar in your pictures chased this one back across the fenceline, Mark had shot him at about 50-60 yards. He had to wait for him to get a safe distance from the road before shooting.
