Boar and Coyote - 04/10/18 07:26 PM
Back down to Bosque County for my weekly visit to help the local hogs not feel welcome. Two hogs shot, one recovered, plus a bonus coyote.
The intended hog did not go down as anticipated. I made a straight on shot that impacted just below and forward of the left and and the round apparently went down into the neck without doing any CNS damage and it ran, so I hit it at least twice more before it went into the woods. I was able to pick it up again, inside the tree line and finally hit it with a stop shot and get it dropped and down. In all, I found 7 entry wounds with the possibility of at least one more. I found 5 exit wounds. A second hog was hit, but disappeared into the woods.
Later, I got a female coyote that came by - no calling to bring her in, she just happened to be meandering by.
