Well today My brother RBShoots and I was out doin our duty as pest removers where I live and we finally got a shot on this whistle pig we've been after for a little while and he got caught with his head out of the hole just a little to far and took a shot a 30yds thru some weeds and 14.3 Crosman Copperhead slamed him right in the head right above the ear and it went stright out the other ear, I ran up on him while he was still wigglin around and couldn't believe what I was seein WOW the ole M-Rod did its job with ease, this rifle is untouched still in stock form in .22cal I'm very impressed, if this stock rifle does it like this I can't wait to get my Greg Davis M-Rod fully tuned with the LW barrel and the bolt put on the right side for me (left side)

Excellent shot at that whistle pig...and a head-shot to boot. That M-Rod slammed that .22 Copperhead pellet real hard into it.

Thanks brother!

Nice shooting with the Mrod! That 's a good size G-hog. I love G-hog hunting :)
-
Ya me too!

That's a big old G-hog too. A lot of the ones I took a few years ago looked like yours when they were plentiful. Darker with thick fur and somewhat matted, but were also losing some fur in spots. They were several years old then by the time I shot them, because I had left them alone the first 5-6yrs after I moved in, so they had flourished, and their longevity was quite good. Nowadays that they are scarce after taking so many, they look differently because they are lot younger. They kind of have a cleaner look to them with a more "shiny" coat. You can always tell by the size of their teeth or the color of their teeth how old they are. G-hogs rarely live beyond the age of 1 or 2 around my property. I just get mostly young ones now that were kicked out by their mother or other older G-hogs from the neighbor's.
In the "good ol' days" I would have 7-8 different G-hogs move into the same hole under my shed. As soon as I shot one, another one would move in after a 1-2wks. It was a very sought after tool shed :) And still is it seems. It attracted one just last week which joined its ancestors in G-hog heaven after only a couple of days or residence :)

ya she was an old hog!
