Sitting on a small hill overlooking a stock tank and wheat field a few days ago. Hunting for whitetails but couldn't give him a pass.

I'm sure the owner of that wheat field is happy you didn't pass him up. Congratulations!

thanks!
It’s a model 70 super grade in 300 WinMag. With the Leopold CDS it can really reach out. Although this one was only 70 yards away.

Great photos!
Awesome hog as well. I will admit that the explosion of hogs in the south, where I grew up, has completely overtaken my interest from whitetail hunting. I get far more amped up to see a big lone boar nowadays than I do another whitetail.

Ham is my favorite meat. Never shot a free range hog. What is the taste?

The many hogs that I have killed and eaten have all generally tasted great. It is far, far leaner than a farm pig. I usually do the quarters on a smoker slathered in mustard and salt/pepper. Delicious pulled pork. The backstraps make great chops too and the rest I love making into Chorizo (if you can find a good Texas processor) or sausage. Hogs are a good part of our protein throughout the year.
