As hot and dry as it has been around here, you would expect the pigs to by steady at the feeders. If they show up at all it has been very erratic! I do not like when sounders show. They are after all pigs! Very helter- sketler, eat all you can as quick as you can! Your spot is better than mine! Its just hard to pick good shot. Had a sounder show the other night with pigs ranging from 5# to one that looked 300! Wanted the bigger one but it would not come into the light, one grunted and they all ran. I never shot! Last night a small sounder showed. I picked a bigger one that looked like a sow. Almost like a running shot I knocked her down. Suddenly she started kicking up a cloud of dust! When the dust cleared she was gone! She did not run far, how she even ran I don't know! 375 Ruger to the crease! 117 pound sow. Its been a long dry spell!
