Boar Takes A Bullet to the Face!

I was out at my usual spot on a beautiful day in mid-April. My feeder had quit working, but I got that figured out (two dead batteries - what are the odds?) so I decided I would wait around and see if any hogs would show. Around 9:30PM I heard what sounded like something snorting from the south. There were cattle in the area, but I'd watched them settle down behind me (to the east) a few hundred yards away. I thought maybe they were moving again, so I got up to check on the noise. I got up and walked around a Youpon bush that I used as camouflage, and spotted a dozen hogs heading my way. They were coming from the downwind direction, so I wasn't expecting to see anything there. I knew I wouldn't have much time before they detected my scent. I moved to a new position quickly, took aim, and nailed a 145# boar just about directly between the eyes.

Not a lot of actual hog video. I had to set up and shoot quickly. I barely had time to turn on the video recorder.

Never one to intentionally disappoint... "Blew eyes... baby's got, blew eyes..." LOL (Guilty as charged) I was already thinking it before I heard you accuse me. Nice kill !

1st round KO!! Good boar down!

Good job, from a lawn chair even.

There were a lot more hogs there than I originally realized. Good kill!

I like those “no tracking required” shots. Good job.

Good kill!

Yeah, if I'd had more time to set up and check out the sounder I might have noticed that a couple of those pigs were highly pregnant!
Check out the last one to leave as they run to the left. There was another a few ahead of the last one that also seemed to be waddling as she ran.
Either of those would have been good to take out.

Ruined the rest of his evening! Good shot for sure. Now on to the factories!

Nice one!
