Now my wife just left I told her to see if she can find .410 or 20ga shells. Oh haven't been able to get it up since they took my Prostate out. But that's OK I had fun while I could. oneshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JestersHK Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Oneshot I think I got some 20ga at my dad's house next time I'm by Lebanon I'll bring you a box if I remember. May have some 410 too... None of my guns do I consider tactical...It's such a dumb title, my guns are all tools that serve a particular purpose. Yes we hunt deer and hogs with AR15s... Yes my shotgun looks tactical, but in reality I get 24 rounds of 12ga mini and I have 2 seperate tubes so I can switch between slugs and buck shot without unloading / reloading. It's also very compact so when we're running side by sides at night its easy to get in and out of without getting hung up. It's a very versatile platform with great capacity for shooting pigs. I've been within 10ft of hogs in pitch black darkness that outweigh me and even with an AR or compact shotguns I still feel like I wish I had more gun. Man its a rush though. 300BO is a great round for younger ones in a small easily adjustable rifle that is suppressed so we aren't destroying our ears and can hear everything in the dark. I also shoot hogs with a "tactical" bolt action 270 off a Tripod with thermals for the big ones that we keep our distance from. Hogs will mess you up. Different folks have different hobbies. I'm no high speed operator and don't pretend to be one. Dressing up with guns is silly. I do buy the best tool for the job, and actually use and shoot my tools. It just so happens the tactical tools used to hunt people work extremely well on animals too. fishinwrench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Son said I am crazy. Dad you can't run what would you do if he come after you? I use to hunt Hogs on COE Land but no longer legal to do this. I went to NYC had a Shotgun loaded with #4 Shot. Less questions asked. And if I had been caught with. 357 I would have been in big trouble. oneshot JestersHK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smacked one at 40 yards right on the shoulder instead of the neck. She was prolly 300 pounds and we never recovered her. When you start shooting them in the dark they scatter everywhere. Run right at ya as they can't tell where shots are coming from suppressed. Gets the blood pumping for sure and I love the rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got back to the Hog it had moved. You sure it's dead? He was saying yes as it had hold of his backside. He was so proud of the mount and put pictures on the Internet. Told him it just didn't look the same. We just won't talk about that. oneshot JestersHK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
