Live Oak
Finally dry enough for them to show
I had one on camera. Now I have two green self contained lights on my feeder. A really bright one that just stays on for 3 hrs. The dimmer one is on till the battery dies. Dim on the left, both come on at dusk. Feeder spins at nine deer show up. Suddenly the deer bolt! Pig walks around he front of the feeder to the left side. Hangs around the left side fence and the feeder leg. A little before ten the bright light times out! Pig is all over the feeder pen. So much for they can not see green! He clears the objects and I touch one off. It knocks him down but the shot startles two deer which then stop between me and the pig! Pig finds his feet and explodes in a cloud of dust. No blood, tissue or clumps of fire ants on such. The dove, tea, goat (or what you prefer to call it) weed is thick down there so I went back this morning to look better. He made it 50 yards before head on with a live oak tree. Tree won. 250 grain 375 Sierra Game King entered a little high on the front of the shoulder blade.(I am shooting down) Exited the bottom of the opposite flank. I know the 300 grainers are very tough bullets but with three runners I am wondering if Sierra changed the construction of the 250s to the same.
