FIRST WEEK OF RIFLE SEASON

Posted By: JCB

FIRST WEEK OF RIFLE SEASON - 11/12/17 09:26 PM

I got a really fat Sow (she was pregnant). She came in real late all alone as I was getting out of my stand. It was too late to see my cross hairs on her at 250 yards so I stalked within 25 yards of her. When she raised her head I shot her in the face with the 6.8 and she dropped. It was only then I realized it was a pregnant sow and not a big lone boar. Felt bad but she is being made into breakfast sausage as I type this.



Dad got a Boar I had been getting game cam pics of. He had no ears at all. I thought they may had been removed by a dog or something but he didn't even had any ear canals so I am sure he was born that way.



I picked up my buck from bow season.



This Doe got so close to me in my ground blind I could have grabbed her by her ears at one point. There were actually 3 that close.


One of the bucks taken this past week.


Opening day lunch.


Lots of Turkey this year.

I always enjoy the JCB ranch pics whether they're the famous JCB ballistic test results or huge hogs shot in the face..

Thanks. Pics are pretty low quality this trip. Between the high winds blowing dust everywhere early in the week and then 3 days of rain and constant drizzle, I decided not to carry my usual camera with me in the field.

Next trip I plan to carry my 223 with me and take a Thanksgiving Turkey. In addition to the group of young hens above, I had a group of 18 Jakes and Toms come in. 3 were giants!

yep there's no way I'd feel bad about shooting her. They drop piglets like it's going out of business!
