Shot this big sow last night in a big field next to a creek. I was sitting there counting deer there were 8 and then I see a blob of heat coming out of the creek bottom. I immediately identified it as a hog and prepared for the stalk. She was approx 300 yards away wind was perfect for a stalk. I stalked within about 100 yards and all the deer took off running and blowing but the wind and the fact she was walking through a low washout area kept her from getting spooked or maybe she just didn't care what the deer were doing. Shot her with the 12 gauge with 300 grain hornady SSTs and got a complete pass through.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf

Excellent!!! Glad to see you back in the game! Mother in law passing away, my area closed for training, and plenty of food for the hogs to eat have made it tough hunting for the past month. I’ve only been out 2 times and almost gave up last night before finding this sow.

Nicely done, Sapper! Taking out a whole sounder with one shot is really the efficient way to do it!

Nicely done. Good job waiting for the better shot opportunity. I get too impatient most of the time. Keep After 'Em!
I have two unwritten rules: 1. 2.
