Our buddy, Steve .... took this 300 pound hog with his Dakota 45. He says some other companions, with firearms - took 3 shots to get their hogs! Hah!!!! Get out there and shoot those Wall Hangers!

Now that's what you have been waiting for Gary! Come to think of it, so have the rest of us!
Good kill...
Cheers
Neil

Hi Neil,

Don't get me started.

I thought there would be an endless flow of things like this. Especially after all these years and guns in the field .... ah closet .... well field/closet-ish. .

So; it happens just a bit slower then I thought. Great to see them shine when they come out to play!

Gary

The Dakota is a beautiful rifle. It's one of my favorites.

Way to slay that hog Steve!

That's a great big hog ! Way to go . Is that Dakota a Barnes ? Looks like a great piece either way !

Hi Kurt,

It's a Barnes. Butt reservoir bolt action.

I have an invitation from Hawgwild in Florida because the owner want's to see an air rifle in action, and I am patiently waiting!!!!!

Hello Don,

I believe you. And thank you for your patience. God knows I appreciate patience. And I swear on a stack of Bibles - I'm doing all I can to get this done and meet my obligations.

You know - I'm sure we've discussed this before - as I have with a dozen friends thru the years. For some reason, I've had fifty people tell me that they just couldn't understand why my buyers won't go shoot their guns - and when they get theirs, they are gonna cover me up with pictures of them using it. The forum, as you see it, is the unexplained result. Life sure bends things around. Hey - I don't even have a hunting Barnes rifle! Boy - when I get one - I'm gonna .... probably get talked out of it - haha.

Don, I can't wait to get you yours. Heck - maybe we can shoot some together if I can borrow your gun ... Haha.


Dinner ..... Yummmmmmmmmm

BTW .... To get back to the meat of the thread. This Dakota was moderated. I don't recall the logic now. But I see the appearance of a bull barrel.

This was delivered prior to the for, so I'm sure there is range work on the main site. Ill have to try to find it.

Gary

You are a little closer to me now, the invite is appreciated and accepted. It is 75 and sunny in Clearwater today!!!! Hope to see Kelly and Gary back in nice weather soon.

Very nice kill. I figure if hogs continue to spread like they have been, we'll have most states go to any method, any time for taking them.

Wow, that is a big hog!
It would be fun to hunt hogs with a powerful airgun

Thanks for sharing.

Yes hogs would be a fun hunt ! Here in Michigan they have just recently started to appear and have an open season on them . I have never seen any in the wild here but lots of evidence and destruction of them ! Some friends have stuck a couple out bow hunting and they are crazy thick grizzle plates guarding vitals .
