I returned to the same location I hunted the previous night where a sounder had been scared off by coyotes. I set up on the other side of the clearing after having scouted the area. I gamed or strategized this hunt out a bit better than the previous night and when the hogs did come out, knew that I would have only a brief shooting window of time before they disappeared back into the heavy brush and that they would likely return in the direction from which they came. So I shot the trailing hog first in hopes that the leading hog would cross back into my field of fire...

You're tougher than I am. I would have set up on the upwind side of the dead cow as it still would have masked my scent on the downwind side. Being a cattle rancher, I have smelled my share of dead cows  and try my best to avoid the stench. That is not always possible when trying to drag them out of the silty mud in a nearly dry stock tank. Very nice shooting Brian, kudos!

Very nice shooting Brian, kudos! Thanks, LOL. I used to render dead things for their skeletons. Generally speaking, the smell of dead animals does not bother me at all. Fortunately, I have gotten over the urge to roll in them.

The shot we all want to make all the time but find very difficult to pull off, nicely done.

Nice shooting. Yeah, I'd have stayed a bit further from the dead cow myself, but I'm just a wimpy old guy who's not as tough as he thinks he used to be.
