West's 1st hog

txjourneyman · 03-18-2007, 06:00 AM

Wes and his dad came down from Ks to join me for a hog hunt. Wes, (user name, West), got this one with his .50 smokepole. It went through some of the thickest stuff on the place but left a good blood trail. It went about 75 yds. I felt like 750! Congrats on the first! Tonight we got to get his dad one!

Way to go West! He'll stink a skillet up for sure. Nice one!

(scuse my ignorance but what's a .50 smokepole?)

.50 caliber muzzleloader. I think he was shooting a T/C Omega.

ahhhhh.....thx. I'm not into muzzleloading, should have figured it out though.
Great shooting West!

Congrats Wes.

Greg was it shot from the "climber" spot?

I was looking real hard at a 22-250 yesterday

luckily I had my wife with me so I could not get it

Yes, He was in the climber. What do you mean luckily? You didn't get the gun, how is that lucky? Oh, wait, I see, she let you live another day!

BTW, I have another stand and ladder ready to go up there. Want to try one night this week?
