It has been a couple of months since I have been hunting as I have been busy with my work and I just bought another house.

Booked in with FATBOY to come out on the June long weekend for a pig chase.
We left for one of Neale's hunting places where he gets his big numbers at 5 am yesterday morning.
At 6am we got pulled over by the cops and put on the breathalyzer and had our drivers licences checked as well as the serial numbers checked on our rifles.

Unloaded the bikes and started the day.
I bought a 4 wheeler from Neale's Mum and this was my first lap on it.
I did hit an ants nest at speed.

We were hunting with "Two modern mausers", I was using my CZ 9.3x62 topped with a VX2 3-9 with a German 4 retical and shooting Highland factory ammo.
Neale was using his Ruger African topped with a 2.5-8 VX3 in 9.3x62 shooting 286 grain RN Woodleigh's.

With some good numbers of pigs about we got 75 pigs for the morning and ended up with some hot barrels.
Duke caught 11 and we shot the rest.

A pretty flash sow's nest.

At one point Neale sent me into a little patch of pine that was only as big as two house blocks .My jaw dropped when 40 or 50 pigs erupted out of it.
That triggered chaos. I shot a nice boar of about 65 kg then caught up with Neale to go to work on the mob.
He ran out of ammo and came roaring across to me and grabbed a handful of ammo out of my belt and we kept going.

Here are a couple of the pigs I shot.

Finally got to use my sword (seeing as I'm the one who got FATBOY onto them)
One of the ones out of a big mob showing the benefits of the 9.3x62.

A couple of FATBOY's.

A recovered 286 grain RN from a set of "Dubs".

Unfortunately with rain on the way Neale has had to work so we are only going out the once but we are going to work out some loads for my new 9.5x57 today.

It is a Brno, VZ-24 with a 4 power Conquest on top.
