450 for sale

[BClark]

I nailed this one with my 300 win mag at 200 yards. This pig weighed 300 on the hoof. I bet that 416 packs a wallop! Pigs like this are common on my property near Lake of the Pines.

That's just about 3 hours from me.
Tell me how many guys you need. I can think of five including me
If we can coordinate our schedules right.

Thanks Texas Sheepdawg, as soon as the monsters come back out from their nocturnal movement and i get my new 450 i will contact you and my members and we will have a pig party. I need to fill up all the feeders and get them out in the daylight again.

Does your 450 have a 20" or 16" barrel? Is there any ballistic difference between the 2? I have no experience with the 450. My largest caliber is a 338 Marlin Express pushing a 250 Hornady.

Mine has a 20" barrel. I figured to get a more complete powder burn
with the longer barrel, thus improving FPS. I have some long barreled
And short barreled 22s and the longer the barrel, the more
Accurate they are. From what hoot says, I guessed right.
Yes the 416 Rem Mag is a show stopper. (And a brow biter).
I've shot it just for fun and to be honest, the recoil is like
Getting kicked in the shoulder by a steer.

LOL..... Two of us have night vision scopes.
That would be a game changer!

As Ted Nugent would say...."That's hog heaven".
From reading the comments, I think that's somewhere in
Europe.
Do you have any game cameras?
One of my buddies builds and uses hog traps.
But if your hogs are that big, it's probably better
To just whackem.

On the property i have near lake of The Pines i have 15 ..55 gal feeders with various brand throwers, and a camera on everyone. We were wackin hogs by the dozen in september and october and then they just vanished with 1 or 2 small herds of 5 or 10 showing up before dark. The cameras caught multiple herds after dark between 8pm and 5am just eating everything in sight from all the feeders. I also have pics of a mountain lion working the area. It is probably eating my deer or the pigs. All the pigs we wasted were gone the following night or morning without a sign...no hair...bones...nothing. I think the lion was carrying them off. I have 10 hunters on my place and we were hunting hogs and not deer most of the beginning of season. We took 20. Last year we were trapping and shooting and removed 44. In 2008 we wasted 68. We were catching 5-10 in each trap this year for about 20 days then they got smart and started pushing the traps off the feed and not getting in the trap. So they sort of disappeared toward the end of deer season.

You must have popped the older sows. The boars probably
Moved on but they should come back as long as you keep feed
In the feeders. Come mid February they will be running out of acorns
And may work their way back to your land.
That mountain lion may be doing some predator hunting of his own.
But a cat that big will run off everything.

I was afraid the cat was scaring off my deer. So i talked to the warden and he said it wasnt illegal to hunt it. My neighbor got a shot off at it last year but noone can hit the side of a barn over there. I had a state trapper out there last year and they took 40 coyotes with their cyanide poppers they use.I have so many predators there i think it is starting to ruin my deer hunting.

The coyotes are bad here too. We had snow last week and I
shot some video of the frikkin grand central station traffic
of coyote tracks in my south pasture. Minutes before I shot
the video, there had been a yote howling about 200 yards
west of that pasture off in the woods. It was 3:43pm.
I have goats and I am getting pretty concerned that this group
of yotes has been studying my fences and herd pretty hard.
I need to buy an elevated blind badly. We also have some
big cats in the area and the bobcat population is pretty good.
