it has been a few months since i have had a solid chance at some piggies. guy i am building a house for let me go out to his ranch and coleman and blast away. something about cruising around on a four wheeler with a gun strapped to my back that makes my nuts swell up. drove around his ranch trying to get a layout and pattern the wind. settled in under some brush about 100 yards down wind of one of his feeders around 3:45. laid down on the ground and took nap. i woke up to some squealing and here come this group out of the creek bottom right at 5:00.  stood up and let my eyes adjust then took out the biggest one in the group. as they scattered i got another one one the run. about 10 min later they all came back. waited for a big nasty boar to come out but nothing showed so i shot another one just before dark. when i went to recover the pigs i saw something squirming in the mud next to the first pig. it was a little one i did not even know was there. first shot was a 'twofer' finished it off with 22mag. loaded up the four wheeler and headed back to the bunkhouse. this was a rare treat for me. what a blast.  winchester m70 270 supergrade, leupold vxIII, hornady 140 grain sst coonsaw

The difference between shooting and soothing is one "H"'s placement.

something about cruising around on a four wheeler with a gun strapped to my back that makes my nuts swell up. Coffee all over my desk... Great job amigo! I'm hoping to get a bunch of piggies in February?
If you don't have time to do it right the first time, will you have time to do it over?
