Success(again) in southern WV

[WSMDRT]

We were back in Kenna, WV at Hog Haven! This time it was a 3 generation affair. My son had already take a hog from there in May 2021...so he was after something bigger... but to the hogs.

These were a tough find were skunked from 8am to 3pm... then it got real up close and personal... nothing long range about it but a ton of fun.
Their damage....notice the mud. Then check out the pigs.

My hog...7mm-08 14" pistol Atom Chassis
150gr ELD-X at 2500fps

My brothers...458 socom...300gr Nosler ~1900fps

My dad....1971 Marlin 336 30-30 150gr SP

Everyone has got pork in the freezer!

Cabin on site sleeps 6 and has full amenities to process yourself of you are staying for the weekend like we were...
We brought our own knives and vacuum sealer...

Love the smiles!
Were you pleased with the performance of the 150 ELD-X at close range?

 

[WSMDRT]

I did not recover the bullet but it seemed to do the job. The close proximity meant my speed was still well above 2000fps. Caught spine and bone and kept on pushing.

Best performing bullet was the antique 150gr 30-30(knowing my dad that bullet might be older than me)...only shot behind the shoulders. 30cal enter 2" exit... for only the cost of 2 bbq ribs.

The 7mm and 458 went calber in and maybe 1.5 caliber out both neck shots.

Nice!

How much did they weigh?

 

[WSMDRT]

Guide refused to declare a winner he knows it would have started a riot, all over 250lbs....

But mine was loaded last on the side by side and his exact words were "now we got to put this biggest one on top"... just saying I won!
