Trip A = 46
A mate and I nailed 46 wild pigs (50 – 80kg) in marsh country over two days in October 2001 (before this damn drought). Al shot 22 hogs with his Ruger 270 using 130gn Silvertips and I shot 24 with my Marlin 45-70 using 300gn HPs.
To date, that trip is still the BEST hunting trip I have ever been on. With the drought, the wild pig numbers have diminished from their record numbers. However, I'm still able to get 2 to 6 pigs from the same property each visit.
Trip B = 23
In June 2002, the trip was primarily to shoot foxes and feral cats. We were not expecting pigs and I only had my Ruger 223 with me. I was using Nosler 50gn BTs for the intended task. On the first night we can across a mass of wild pigs. As the action was fast and furious, some pigs took two or three hits to kill, but I was able to get 9 wild pigs. Luckily I had twenty Barnes 53gn X-HP loaded up to take out on the next night. On the second night, the 223 dropped another 14 wild pigs, all single shot kills with the Barnes X-bullet.
