Wow! what can I say you're everybody's hero. I'm anxious to get home and my back gets healed and I'm able to enjoy my hobbies once again.

Nice one Manny!

[AZAG]

I've gotten a lot of complains over the years because I look so serious in my Trophy pictures, to be Honest, I just don't feel like jumping up and down and smile when I just killed something.

I absolutely can't stand those Hunting shows where they do that,...JMO

Very sportsman like of you.  It's good to keep in mind that it's not a video game, it's a real living thing that just breathed its last.  Of course it is going to a better place...the freezer.  LOL

How big were they?  they look like good eating size.

It's good to keep in mind that it's not a video game, it's a real living thing that just breathed its last.

I think people (especially my generation) have lost the perception of this concept. The popular video games now (Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, etc) show killing, not animals but humans, as a "normal" and "exciting" thing. Personally, when I kill an animal, even something as detrimental and annoying as a starling, I take a second to slow down and respect the animal. Every one of those 171 sparrows I've popped have had a small moment of silence for them.

Congrats Manny! I really dig the sounds of the HI woods. What would you call that habitat? Rainforest? Jungle? Highlands?

[Nomadic Pirate]

Thanks Travis,...Rainforest I guess ?

I'm now playing with your mount, the camcorder I just got has the screw set to far right so I had to hammer the bracket to the side.

Next time the video quality should be much improved

[Bullfrog]

Awesome! Yeah we put the plate on there tight but we do make it moveable with some force for just such a reason, although its usually point-and-shoot cameras that have that issue. For my reference, what make and model camcorder did you get?

That .357 really puts them down. I am watching the videos through my phone and it doesn't let me do full screen on photobucket. What is that substance that flies out from around the hogs head during the shot? Is that the pellet/bullet going through the skull and kicking up dirt or is that slobber or food from the hog's mouth?

Looks like a great hunt Manny thanks for sharing.

Good hunt.

Where can I find the videos?

[LDP]

Click on a pic he has posted and you will be able to see all the pics and the two videos.

[Bicycleman]

Thanks, Pirate.  Hey everybody, did you hear that big "SIGHHHH" after the shot on the boar?  Well done!

Youngsters, take a lesson from this man.

Yes we can take them year round.

Good catch there on mosquitoes, ...they are brutal, the Shamagh I always wear insn't so much for camo but for keeping the Mozzies away.

The video is almost uploaded on YouTube, I should post it soon

[Nomadic Pirate]

Here is the Video.

at the end I was trying to show the area and my Hunting attire

Travis, I would guess that was a piece of Mango

[CarsonRatSniper]

Outstanding Manny!
Your patience while getting good footage before shooting was professional grade Sir.

You are officially the first person to take any game with Bobs scaled down 80 grain EPP/UG slug

Keep em coming! I'm too busy to hunt let alone go shoot my AG's. I'm living vicariously through you...

[Nomadic Pirate]

I need to put an order in for 500 count of them .358 EPP/UG

[CarsonRatSniper]

I will have to wait until I get a bottom pour...it takes too long with too many rejects hand casting.

I still have over 30 pounds of pure lead for casting so you're in luck there...but I'm ordering swaging tooling for .358" before I buy a new furnace.
I've been waiting for the new Lyman Pro Mag 25 to actually be available...

My swaged .358" will knock the socks off of those slugs I sent you

If my tooling is WAAAAY out I will set aside a day to make you some. I'll PM you when they're ready.

[DPC]

Great replay of a successful hunt. Congratulations!
