Weekend hunts 50 cal
      #211784 - 30/06/12 08:39 PM

Had a good weekend. Got a couple of scrubbers and a horse with the pet meater good to watch a professional at work. Picked up a few good tips. Looked for a few more scrubbers and found lots of pigs but no scrubbers.
Went for a late arvo hunt with Joey and got a small boar feeding in a lagoon. Let him make it to the edge and neck shot him on the run with the 7x57. Went on to a channel and found a few in the thick stuff , but didnt get any. Joey got her fist paper wasp stings. Not real happy.
On the way back Joey wanted to get some pics , so I drove on to a dam and left her at a gate. Arriving at the dam I spotted a brumbie, about 600m across the flat. Moved to get a shot and got to about 240m and it started to move. when it stopped side on I placed a 145 from the 7x57 behind it sshoulder. Hit it again at around 300m dropping it on the spot. Second shot wasnt needed the first had passed thru for a double lung shot. Boned him out in the last light.
plenty of fires around at the moment and Joey got a few good pics.
Hunted with the 50 cal the next day and found a nice boar hit him a bit high with the first 385 grainer and after a bit of a follow up and slow reload . Hit him again dropping him on the spot. Found the second projectile in his neck under his ear. (Raking shot).

Awesome photos Mick. Thanks for posting.

Agree re paper wasps, they are a majot PITA.
Got multiple stings one morning when re wiring
a fence across a flood plain. 40 - 45 degrees,
100% humidity, no shade and a fence line
covered in reeds that needed to be cleared
that had paper wasp nests every so often.
