Decided last week to start scouting for hogs on Ft Hood bc it's close to home and lots of critters. Found some spots on google earth and went and scouted. Decided on a spot and corned it and set up a cam and let it rest for 4 days. Went to check the cam this morning and had this large boar on the cam at 0830 so I drove home got my stuff and headed back. I built myself a brush blind and the wait began. Right at dark I heard him making his way from my left exactly where I expected him to come from and I gave him a dose of 00 Buck from about 30 yds out of my grandfather's Remington 870 Wingmaster and he dropped in his tracks. Feels good to put my grandads shotgun to use almost 50 yrs after he first purchased it.
