We made our annual New Year’s trip to a private club where I am a member . We bird hunted in the mornings. We deer and/or hog hunted in the afternoons. I was quite excited for the trip for a variety of reasons . One of those reasons was that I was taking a gun that I had not shot in years . A Browning X Bolt in 270. On the second afternoon, we go to a place I had hunted many times but it had been a while since I was last there . It was unrecognizable to me. On one side of the road the pines were way taller. On the other side, the pines had been harvested and replanted . The shooting house had been destroyed by a hurricane. I used a pop up blind. At any rate,I get in the blind. About 45 minutes later , a big sow comes out. I hammer her. She doesn’t take a step. I get out of the blind and drag her off away from the feeder in order to not spook any other hogs which might show. In about 10 minutes , 2 sows come in from the opposite direction. They can clearly smell where I shot the first hog. They are spooky. I was afraid they would run off. I decided to shoot. At the shot, the first hog drops instantly . I saw the second hog running off in an odd manner . Damnit I think . I figured my bullet must have exited the first hog and hit the second. I call someone to come get me. I sit in the blind and give it a little time for the second hog to die. When he shows , I get out . I find blood immediately. We start following it . There was the second hog laying dead about 30 yards away. I shot twice and killed 3 hogs . My friend who went with me shot 3 times and killed 2 hogs. Hell of an afternoon.   We call this a hog carpet! | ||
