Now that is a new one here.

KirkD hunts them with old winchesters and you never quite know what Nath is going to use.

PH,

Well done. I use Ground Hogs to keep my .54 cal in tune during the off season. That is, either the .54 Cal or my longbow. Great fun all around. Nice shirt. I love to hunt in traditional gear too.

First class friend

So how far was the shot? Did it get to smell smoke?
What did you stuff down that there charcoal burner?
How'd you clean it?

Nath

Is was about a 40 or 50 yards shot, i hit him good but he got into his hole and was dying as he went down, i grabbed him and pulled him out, yes no lie, and i hit him in the head with the butt end of my hatchet, it was 90 grains of 2f i believe and a jacketed sabot, i aint got roundballs shootin well enough yet with a consistent pattern that ill hunt them. thats a tough hog because thats my deer setup.

If it shoots sabot and bullets then it may have to much twist for a ball.
