Having some pictures of a sound of small pigs hitting the "hill feeder" at the wife's place. Sat last night. Feeder spins corn, deer come in! There is always one deer usually a doe who's mission is to find and consume every last kernel that others miss! She showed up late and searched outside the feeder pen finally went in. She did not stay long, jumped and ran! Good sign, then I heard the pigs. Sounders are loud! They worked outside and in back of the feeder pen. I did not see a larger lead sow like is usual. No corn left so I knew a shot would have to be quick. Largest I saw was a black one. When it cleared the feeder leg I put the reticle behind its ear and squeezed! It hit the ground running on its side. Much to my surprise there was a second pig passed the first on its side also running in place! A twofer! 250 grain 375 Sierra Game King went through the first pig and out the right shoulder, breaking its leg. Entered the small sow right behind the ear but I did not find an exit. When I opened her up for the vultures, her right leg was also broken with a large blood clot under the skin down by her chest. I did not look for the bullet or exit. 375 Ruger naturally. 104.8 pounds on the black boar and 44.7 pounds on the light sow! | ||

I have done that twice--once with a 7mm Mag and once surprisingly with a .22-250. An old pilot, not a bold pilot, aka "the pig murdering fool" | |||

With the young sow you killed a couple hundred pigs. Should make you real happy this time. Never done such a thing on bigger stuff. Quite a few times on pr/dogs though. Once even got a triple. So seldom three line up at once. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | |||

I did it with a .22LR at 30 yds. Shot first one as it faced me just above the center of an x between it's eyes dropped him about 150# on the spot glanced off the skull came out and hit his buddy approx. 80# in the ear hole . One .22 shot 2 pigs | |||

I did it once on purpose (300gr. Sierra in .375 H&H) during a depredation hunt. Both pigs were lined up exactly and I went for just behind the front shoulder. The first one dropped at the shot and the second one ran 20 or 30 yards. I would have guessed it would happen the other way around since the second pig should have gotten hit with a much larger frontal bullet area and still a bunch of energy. Never found the bullet. In my 30+ years of guiding I've had it happen a couple times to clients. But each time it was right after I said, "Don't shoot yet!... two pigs are lined up!" But people get a bit excited.... Once was with a .45-120 so at least from a penetration standpoint that wasn't a big surprise. I had another guide who worked for me for many years and had clients get a couple doubles. He did a great job and was generally very observant and alert. But two different times he spotted a "single" pig, the client fired one shot and they walked over to find two dead pigs. In each case the guide and client were convinced they had only seen 2 ears and 4 legs, but thankfully the clients were proud of their achievement and happily paid for the second pig (land owners don't believe in "two for one" pricing). | |||

accidently I have scored two with one several times. Trying, I have only succeeded once and recovered both. Recently finding skulls in the thick youpon at my place, I probably succeeded by did not recover one. I'll see if I can find pictures. | |||

Nicely done! I've been lucky in that I have been able to take a number of "two-fers" over the years, including at least 2 that were unplanned. Went through a bunch of pictures a couple years ago to try and get a total overall count, and I think there were 23 two-fers included. I think my last two-fer was with a 23" 25-35 Contender barrel, the 80 grain Barnes TTSX and a couple medium-sized sows. You just have to talk nicely to them, and they'll line up LOL.

Well done. I have killed 2 or even 3 with a single shot many times. However, when I consciously try to kill more than one with a single shot, I almost always mess up the shot. I killed 3 with a single shot last year. Plus I could hear a 4th hog squealing in the swamp which I never found. | |||
