Good job, both of you. My Marlin put a sow that size in the freezer this season; wasn't the first time, won't be the last. Excellent hog gun.

Congrats on her first hunt, I take it you did not recover the slug.
Excellent first hunt! I wish you many more.
Its nice when a plan comes together! (A Team)
Nice pig and nice shooting! Be sure to follow up with some pig cooking pics!
Hope that boar was edible. Had an awesome dinner of free range pork liver this evening from a sow about that size. Boars that size can go either way, hope it's headed for your freezer.

Great thread - She looks as happy as can be - nothing like first hunt success.

Judging from your wife's grin ..... I'd say you are in line for looking for another lever gun .... when my wife holds one of my guns and grins that big .......... it's her's after that!
Or at the very least ........ I dare not sell it!!
Congrats

There is alot of Public land hunting but it is usually seasonal. meaning it has to fall within an established game season. There is quota permits and special opportunity type permits you can get throw Florida Game Commission. there are alot of guide / outfitters in FL for hog hunting. Average price will be from $200 - $500. when i have the wife, kids, or a new hunter that wants to try hunting i usually take them to an outfitter.Originally Posted by ammohead
Better odds of them getting an opportunity at one.
You do not need a hunting license to kill pigs in FL. if you are hunting them on Public Property during another game season you still don't need a license but it may be a smart idea to have an appropriate license for that game just to avoid any hassles with the warden.
I dug around for a while in the sand but to no Avail.... I really wanted that slug. but it was a clean in & out through the Cranium.. need to shoot one in the front chest facing me just so the bullet has 3-4 feet of meat to slow it down..
I butcher all of my own critters. i have killed alot of pigs and i have only had 1 that wasn't worth eating. older big nutted Boar i shot during archery season long ago. Meat turned gray when cooked, and had an odor.....
I have eaten them from 6-8# piglets up to a 323 pound boar. all tasted great, but the 75 pound or less ones are super yummy.
Yes this pig Yielded me 70 pounds of really nice clean Pork. Vacuum sealed and in the freezer along side a **** load of Venison..
Not for ST patty's but any of the powder coating guys will tell you that there are certain colors that are just awesome to look at. Zombie / aka Kawasaki green is one of those colors. Couple that with the bright copper Checks and man what a pretty bullet. also a good way to tell difference between bullet types. Different colors can = different weights and hardness.
You Must be SINGLE........
No Way she is doing that.
Congrats, I love the 45/70 it is my favorite cartridge. I need to find a place to hunt hogs. we do not have many in PA.
While taking pictures 2 more piggies came out about 25 yards away. I told her there is more pigs behind you. Check out the picture... Momma is reaching for the Rifle with one hand and looking for the next victim..
