Feral Hog Adventure on Deer Season Eve
Published#0046
I came to the tree farm Thursday in anticipation of deer season opening on Saturday.
Plan was to do some regular work on Friday, clearing brush, etc.
So, with breakfast over, let the work day begin. As I come out the front door, I look to my right. Pigs.
Back inside before they get wind of me.
I go out the back door with rifle and tripod in hand. I ease onto the front porch. I can see two very small porkers. Then, coming from left to right a small boar. He’s walking and will soon be out of sight. It’s a good broadside shot, but he’s walking. I go ahead and take the shot.
He’s down and twitching but not for long.
He’s about 50 pounds, young and tender.
It was a 70 yard shot with the bullet entering just behind his shoulder. No loss of meat.
This .308 ammo is loaded with 150 grain Barnes Tipped Triple Shock projectiles. Excellent.
Preparation meets opportunity. Quality gear. Good ammunition.
