Real nice lodge, with lots of inspiration hanging on the walls!
Diane and I in our classic pose.

I took my hog with one of my favorite rifles, a Marlin lever action carbine in 45.70

I was going to do a european mount on it but it has such nice coloring I'm going with a shoulder mount.

Nice. I have never seen a calico hog.

goose63 · « **Reply #6 on:** March 16, 2014, 10:12:34 AM »

Would a 45 long colt lever action work on the hogs ?

Weekend_Sawyer · « **Reply #7 on:** March 16, 2014, 11:34:34 AM »

It would. The 45.70 has more punch and they are tough animals but if you hit it right behind the shoulder or in the center of the neck you'll have pork for dinner!

We got home last night and I dry rubbed a shoulder and a ham for pulled pork tonight.

Guess I better continue this post in the food section.

My 45 lc is loaded with 26 grains of H 10 I would rather shoot my 270 10 times than shoot that puma 2 times that thing is heavy and kicks like a Missouri MUEL

Weekend_Sawyer · « **Reply #10 on:** March 16, 2014, 12:13:14 PM »

I read and article that said the marlin 45.70 doesn't kick, it numbs.

Are these Russian boar? A cross?

Weekend_Sawyer · « **Reply #12 on:** March 16, 2014, 01:35:24 PM »

They said they were a cross between DeSoto and Russian hogs.

I have that same Marlin 45-70. I love it. Nothin' like some self abuse to make you feel alive. Check out Buffalo Bore ammo. I have some stage two 500 grain solids. Keeping in mind that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction most people probably would not choose to load a "hot" load in a 45-70, but hey, you only live once!
Speaking of 45-70s, you can also load a third stage. The only gun that I know of the will handle the pressure is a Ruger #1.

Wonderful pictures! That's a good looking hog! I'd love to see a picture after it's mounted.

By the way, I can't get enough of you and Diane in your "standard pose."

Weekend_Sawyer · « **Reply #15 on:** March 17, 2014, 06:12:06 AM »

Me too Roxie, me too.

Jon,

What is the name of the place you went to? I'm guessing it's in East Tenn?
