6.8 Pistol Kill

6.8 Pistol Kill

Just had to do it with the pistol, went out and worked on the lease, backed out and went back at 6, pigs came in just after 7P. I was in a 12' tower 60 yrds for feeder roll barrel setup. They came in 12 piglets, sow and 4 shoats. I picked the largest shoat and the new 6.8 pistol barked. The Flaming Pig(KX3) made it easy to shoot w/o hearing protection. The little one went down, got up and started running to the woods, I took another shot and shattered its spine, first shot had gone thru the front shoulder, so it would have died anyway, just wanted to shoot the gun...LOL No bullet recover on the 120SST, too small a hog @ 60lbs. This size pig I skin and gut, keep it whole to be smoked so he is in the saltwater brine as I type!

I love the gun, nice and light to carry around the lease. Almost all my shots are less than 100yds so I am thinking this will be my goto carry around the lease weapon. I would love to find a rig to strap it to my hip/leg so i can work/spot and stalk w/o the single point sling. Signature #2 is the weapon

Congrats! Looks like a fun gun to shoot. How did you brace it for the shot? Did you shoulder it or just rest it?

Good job!!!

It is illegal to be shouldered as a pistol, that would make it a SBR and require a stamp, it was rested on a shooting rail in the tower I was in.

I wasn't sure if that were the case or not. Thanks for clearing that up. Again, congrats on the kill with your new toy!

Nice!! Did you tell the shoat, "Let me introduce you to my li'l friend" ?

 

[FrankT]

Yes i did Dave, very selective shooting with so many of them running around...lol

I'd be out there today if Wayne wasn't coming over to get my old boat trailer.....

 

[FrankT]

I hung him up to process, walked back to my truck 10' away, turned to go back and the biggest pygmy rattle snake I have seen was between me and the pig, I think I stepped over him. Naturally I had already removed my snake boots. I can tell you a 9mm G 19 is not what you want to shoot them with as the bullets just made him move faster!

Pig is on the Smoker...Guess he will be ready 1-2Pm...gonna be great! Anyone around Destin, drop in for a taste!

 

[FrankT]

here is the progress!

 

[Just Dave]

You are a cruel man Frank! If I didn't have so much crap to do today, I'd get in my car and come down to help you eat it!!!!

 

[FrankT]

Nothing could be more important than lunch or dinner, come on down!

I'd agree with you, EXCEPT the guys are supposed to install the canvas top on my boat today. So, if I expect to get out snapper fishing next week, I'd better stay close to home.

 

[FrankT]

That is OK, let them do it, wait for Joey, bring him to eat and fondle the pistol...LOL

 

[Just Dave]

I'd let them do it, but they will probably want the rest of their money at the same time.... Joey has an elementary school grad-jee-ation party to go to today.

 

[FrankT]

Congrats Joey

Damn the beer tastes good too, baked beans and potato salad w the pork...mmmmm mmmm good!

 

[Just Dave]

Now that's a FOUL. Unfair tactics!! :bounce:

 

[joe]

Looks likes he would taste great. Fun with guns. :laser:

You just don't realize just how much meat is on these things, I am stuffed!
