PING!
BACON!!!
An AR-15? But gun-grabbers say those can’t be used for hunting.
My husband and son go boar hunting every year in Texas. The ones they bring home look nothing like this. They usually don’t bring the big ones cuz not as tasty.
Seen them that big in Mendocino Calif.
This was an AR platform rifle but not an AR-15. That lower receiver will not facilitate the longer .308 round.
This was an AR-10 type action. The lower receiver is longer and can handle the .308 length cartridges.
Yes we hunt with them all the time. .308, 7MM-08, a couple of the super short mags, all will work on this receiver with different upper receivers.
I shoot an AR-15 for varmints and punching paper. I hunt almost exclusively with an AR-10 in .308 Winchester. It is a very tough, functional, easy to shoot, easy to clean, and accurate rifle.
The AR platform is truly the definition of a modern sporting rifle.
Caption on the picture says he caught it. Really? Note to self, don’t make fun of someone that has caught a 500lb boar.
The hunter lives in the same county I do. My Dad's hunting buddy knows the guy and with his last name, I wouldn't be surprised if we were related on my Mom's side.
This has been all over the news here after being posted on North Carolina Sportsman last week. The hysterical comments that the tree-huggers have been posting on one Raleigh TV station's website must be seen to be believed.
As a side note, the town of Conetoe, NC is actually pronounced "ka-NEE-ta". Don't blame me, I think it was originally an Indian word.
“....308-caliber AR-15 rifle...”
That’d be an AR-10 7.62cal x 51mm, most likely.
Reminds me of Hogzilla, the fake boar picture.
