Got a call from cattle ranch, owner said she saw a sow with about 20 piglets on the place this morning. I headed out to make it before dark tonight, couldn't drive to the creek, too much water from last nights rain so i hoofed the 1/4 mile or so. Brahmas were following me as fast as I could go, threw some sticks and shooshed them away but they were relentless all the way down to the woods. I was still trying to get them away when I could see hogs in the trees, they were moving away I assumed from my racket.
I snuck in about 20 yds and stood still with gun (223 this time for fun) up against a tree and waited. It didn't take long and they were headed back towards me somewhat. Made a neck shot on smaller one and dropped him, they took off but I stood still and they stopped running, had a chest shot on bigger boar behind a tree so I took it. Couldn't find him, it got dark and brush was thick but I did find 2 fresh skulls from lost hogs I shot last week. 1 recovered, better than nothing.
