the 44 mag works great

[taw02476]

this was my first time hog hunting. it was great and oklahoma offers great hogs. we got 6 hogs. my hog which is in the pic was a 450 pound sow. by the way the 44 worked great and the meat is in the freezer.

Great job!! I hope the meat tastes OK. It's been my experiance that anything over 200 -250 lbs is a bit much on the wild, tuff, and naste taste side for me.

Congradulations again!!

Thanks for the pics! That sow is huge!

What kind of ammo were you using in the 44? Do you know the muzzle velocity? Did it exit or stop inside the pig? From what range did you shoot?

I'm asking because I might use my 44 lever gun on my next pig hunt.

Thanks.

Nice Hogs. You Guys voting for Nader?

Lever action fun!

I'm hoping to break my M-94 Timber Carbine in at the Ham Slam.

Fool proof plan....I'll just have to position myself to intercept the hogs running AWAY from Speckmisser.

Great hog hunt, from the looks of it! I don't know what you did with it, but I think
more people need to try eating the big ones they get, we did and its great. I'm
not sure where my sister got the information, but we soaked the meat in a large
ice chest full of ice water, with 1/2 cup to 1 cup of vinegar and 18oz of lemon juice
the vinegar and lemon juice leach the blood out of the meat and as it does this the
meat looks whiter, just like storebought. The info she had said to soak the meat
for 3 to 5 days, changing the water as needed when the water starts to get
pink/red from the blood. If the meat starts to darken or turn blue, it's not bad or
ruined there is just too much vinegar in the mix, so change out the water and add
less vinegar. I've cooked several roasts from a 400lb boar, cook a little longer on
lower heat and it turns out great! Make sure your meat is fully covered with ice
water in the ice chest, that water stays really cold! Try it, you will never leave
those big ones again!

Taw02476- that is one nice pig and what looks like a truck full of Malin Lever guns. You gotta love the levers.


Satchmo- Thanks for the care tips. It's always good to hear of ways to prep. and care for meat.

thanks for all the responses we were hunting in the kiamichi mountains in south east oklahoma. it was for sure a lever fest. i used a 44 with winchester supreme partition gold 250 gr. the cost 150 a day that included meals and lodging. them boys were great to us. we soaked the meat in rock salt and water changed every day and so far from what i ate it is good. when we were processing the pigs they didn't smell strong or any thing. i have bought pork out of the store that smelled a lot stronger. i have some more pics if any one is intrested.
