Now that the acorns of the century are gone the pigs are back at the feeders! This 125# boar showed up on the left side of the pen at 8:45. When I shot there was another creature in the dark on the right. Both of em went down with one on the left kicking and stumbling all over it self. The one on the right I believe to be a deer. I am thinking what in the world just happened! Rode down there to see my pig and find out what! Murphey's law! How much air is there around a two strand barbed wire fence? I managed to shot one wire on the corner post side. The long piece was laying where the other critter was. Imagine in the dark getting slapped with barbed wire after a shot! 416 350 gr .035 wall Hawk bullet. Took a licking and kept on ticking!

Nice one! What was the rifle? Caliber?

I don't think I have shot a barbwire strand yet but I'm sure my day will come!

416 Ruger. The Hawk did not exit, he was quartering. Barbed wire had to have mushroomed the bullet before it hit. Real skill is to shoot through a pig then break wire. I have done it twice. No tee posts or feeder legs yet. Heavy on the "yet"!

Don't brag, shit happens soon as you do!

Get another can, damn all these hogs look
too much alike posed the same and on the
same old rusty can.

Thanks for sharing,

While practicing with my .458Lott for an upcoming buff hunt I shot thru a fence post and killed 2 coyotes with one shot. The odds of the two of them being lined up when the bullet impacted is beyond my math.
