I really don’t know what Winchester was thinking. That is one of the ugliest stocks I’ve seen. If it was my only gun I would get in touch with Boyd’s and get a nice laminate for it. But you know what they say , imitation is the highest form of flattery. I put mine in a 10-22 folding stock just like Manny. It was kind of wobbly but I took care of that with some epoxy and cross pins. Now she’s rock solid. Oh ya , nice hog .
Yeah Manny, butt ugly stock for a butt ugly sow. How old do you think that sow was?
Nice! How many of them have you killed now over the years do you know? Right when I got into bed last night my trail cams sent pictures to my phone showing hogs just arrived to start tearing up my yard so I got dressed and grabbed my rifle plus my hunting headlamp then went out and spotted some at the beginning of my trail 50yds away so offhand I shot a black one around 100lbs but the others ran away into the woods before I could get another one.
You mentioned it held off from the others. I've noticed this with big game fish too when over 100 miles offshore. They get big from experience. Very nice kill too on that sow.

Ho boy, no ideaI think quite a few Good job keeping them at bay, once they find a place they like they are relentless.

They'll find out the hard way like the others have that they royally messed up picking my place because I'm more determined to protect my property than they are to destroy it. Continued success!
nice harvest! Almost had a shot over the weekend, but there were too many things in the way. LP gas canisters, a smoker, a table. I mean, I'm sure I could have threaded that shot, but the gas canisters kinda had me thinking twice.
I hear ya, bruddah. The jungle at the ranch is wicked; bamboo, trees and rocks on one side, vines, more trees and cliff on the other side. We've lost a couple of pigs that ran into the jungle; they were right under our feet but we couldn't see them with all the vegetation. We could certainly smell them a couple days later.
