ohiomike Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 One $20 raffle ticket got me a $500 shopping spree at a gun store down in Chilli.Think there's much chance in me finding a nice lever action .30 .30, or maybe even a .45 .70?Would like to get something to pop some of those hogs down MacArthur way....

bowdog Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Congats, even if you have to add some cash, whatever you decided is still a great deal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 For the money have you considered a bolt action? In a lever action the local shops have rossi 30/30 for under $400. And the henry 30/30 for just over $530. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiomike Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 A Henry would sure be cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 What kind of pigs you talking about? Wild hogs? I talked to a guy at deer camp this year who hunts them down in the south east corner of the state. I would love to take my 30-06 down there and give pig hunting a try.

ohiomike Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 yep. wild hogs. I would love to go down and get a couple myself. I've had wild boar before and unless its a big male, the meat can be real tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Depends on how I feel next week I might try heading down south and going hunting for some pigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiomike Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Now yer talkin....lol....Hopefully I'll be ready in the next week or so.I read there are some guide outfits in eastern Ohio that can take you out with their dogs, and it looks pretty cool, but I like the idea of loading up and doing some recon down McArthur way. I guess you can spot their runs and habitat real quick the way they tear stuff up.Good luck if you get down there before me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah I figure if we get a fresh snow I might try to head out next week. Would be easier to track with snow on the ground might be easier to spot them also. I figure a 30-06 would do some damage to a pig. Either that or take my AR-15 down there since there is no bag limit for a quick follow up shot. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already talked to him....I bought my G23 from him a couple years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
