Travis, excellent shots with your Aircuda desiged PCP's! You must be ecstatic to see them come to fruition like this! Nice photos.

And that size they're usually not as smelly as the big ones which can wreak awful fierce. Several months ago I tagged a big one and hauled it into the woods with the tractor loader without me touching it yet it stank so bad my clothes and nostrils wreaked of it. I was near gagging wishing a tailwind would've kept the stink away. I could still smell it after changing clothes and washing my nose out it stank that bad. Likely came from a nearby chicken farm that smells of rancid death.

That's awesome. About how far away was the shots? Just curious.

It stank so bad I couldn’t eat a bacon sandwich the next day( no joke) if they smell worse I don’t want to know about it.

Great shooting with the Airacuda .25 Travis!  When will the gun be commercially available, and will it come in any big bore calibers?

Yep I know that's right. Those piglets don't usually smell that bad thankfully. I'd say either a quick wash off or burn off of the hair and you'd be fine.

Hey youngen.  Isn't Texas minimum 30cal
On piggies

[T3PRanch]

Texas is .30 minimum for "Game Species". Hogs which are pest not game have no caliber requirements and don't even require a hunting license on private property with the owners consent. They can be hunted at night with or without illumination as well. If you have additional information to the contrary please link it.
