I sat out last night for 5 hours waiting for the hogs to come to a baited spot that they've been hitting every night for the past week. They didn't show, and as I was packing up, this bruiser cruised in for a bit of corn. With a shot fired in anger from my 300 HAM'R, he went down hard, for the count! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/09/full-54774-251494-verydeadcoon.jpg) Had not used the HAM'R on a coon-sized animal before; I think I may have been over-gunned a bit. If he had sent the pigs in instead, he would still be out and around! Bad call on his part.

Ooh, yeah…
That definitely left a mark.
You can never have too much ammo — unless you're swimming.

Might be a touch too much   People have no idea how many of them dang things are out there, until you start trapping and shooting them.
