Rock River Arms .308 with a NightForce 5 1/2 x 22 x 56 scope. I got the black hog at 189yds. The buck at 135. The smaller hog at 55 yards.
@martym Very nice!
You sir will eat good for a while!

Nice buck - congratulations!
Looking at him I'm thinking "Custom Antler Shaving Brush". Anybody feel the same? 
Nicely done, good looking buck. How does wild hog meat taste? Is it comparable to commercialy raised pork, or gamey tasting? Quite lean I would guess?

Completely different from store bought. Very lean. Just keep them under 150 lbs and they aren't very gamey. I prefer them under 100 lbs.
that was the smallest of 4 bucks but the others had quality racks and as you can see, this guy's were very thin. So he got culled. It is very difficult to have a huge trophy buck in the crosshairs and move over and take out the cull. But what a problem to have!

It's good to see Texas bucks of that size. When I was in my teens(25 years ago) all the white tails I ever saw from Texas were the size of greyhounds.
Nice score. Congrats.
Congrats! I grew up in Texas and hunted hogs year round. We don't have hogs up here in North Dakota.
