I spotted a sounder of mature hogs about a half hour after sundown and moved in to shoot. I put one down, and tried to take out a runner. I scored one hit, but it kept going. I was in the path it wanted to take to get to the trees behind me. I experienced a weak round which didn't cycle the bolt, leaving me without a functioning rifle. Things got a little exciting for a few moments. I moved to the side and placed my shooting stick in front of me to fend away the hog. After a couple of seconds it decided to back off and take a different route to safety.
