Yesterday afternoon 4 pigs come to the feeder. I pick up the 7Mag and take a 225 yard slightly quartering to me shot trying to bust the closest shoulder to me. When the smoke cleared there was no pig laying on the ground but I was 100% convinced I didn’t miss just by the sound of the shot. I figured it was a bad hit since she ran because 99 times out of 100 the pig will drop with that shot from a 7Mag. I got on the ATV and drove to the base of the mountain where the pig was standing. Couldn’t find a drop of blood anywhere!  That’s why I like big guns cuz even if they run a blind man can find them! She went 20 yards and shot was perfect. She just had a ton of will to live. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/12/full-5026-269890-2875ce52_ec8d_480f_ae87_107935ab37c8.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/12/full-5026-269891-d8003f94_e28e_401e_90d6_cd0ef71ac7cb.jpeg)

They tend to run in the direction they're facing. Nice going.

I have averaged about 500 miles a season on them for the last 7 or 8 years and they have held up really well. They spend 70% of the time in some of the nastiest rocks you can imagine. Traction in loose rock hauling heavy loads of corn up steep hills has been nothing short of amazing! I would highly recommend them and buy them again in a heart beat!
