dustofferSummer Hog Eradication Campaign Began Tonight
Went out tonight for the 1st time since she finished this year at school. Have not been hunting this place much due to schedule and weather, but knew we had a bunch coming. In the seats at 8:28, feeder spun before we were really settled. Watched a parade of raccoons headed to the big pen trap and then we heard a hog squeal. Looked thru the mesquite and saw one coming toward us but it angled right out of sight. Was looking at the 'coons again and when we looked back, he had walked out of the mesquite and was headed towards us at about 75 yds. I told her to take the shot, now, leaving the earmuffs on the shooting rail. BAM! and down he went. Still wiggled a bit so I walked up and popped him again. Biggest boar we've shot on this place--and fastest. Total elapsed time from seat to shot was about 4 minutes.

dustofferIt is her 3rd with 3 shots, so not so bad. She'll be here until August so I might have to buy some more ammo. Definitely a fat boy.
