Two sows with two litters of pigs. I got first sow, couple of weeks later got the other. Their pigs started returning to the same feeder. Very unusual for the second sow much less their pigs to return. Sat last night. Wind was to change around 11 PM, figured to sit until then. Rained once, when it stopped the humidity went super thick! The mosquitos were out requiring a long sleeve shirt. Almost called it quits but it started raining again cooling things off. About 10:30 I noticed a little activity under the feeder. Actually it was a lot of little activities! Camera showed a couple being bigger than the rest, figured them for the leader. They all looked to be 8 to 12 pounds. I learned about just shooting into the sounder, you hit nothing! I picked one in the front under the center of the feeder and touched off a 250 gr 375 Sierra Game King! One went straight down, one tried to crawl off and a third limped off. Big bullet, little pigs equal gross mess! There was blood and stuff going out both sides of the pen but I only found the first two. Could be just carry off from the first two or maybe more! We will see if they get stupid again!!

Sounds like an interesting evening.

I have had different results a few times just shooting into the "Mass".

I think it is 4 or 5 times now that I have killed at least one pig by centering the crosshairs on the group as they milled under the feeder.

I admit it is more luck than anything else, but sometimes there aren't any other options that seem more profitable.


Even the rocks don't last forever.
