He's a little guy, but he's my first. Got a call from my neighbor that this little feral hog was coming into her yard and hanging around her pig pen bothering her domestic hog and rooting up her yard.
Went out this afternoon at about 6:00pm to scout out where to put up my tripod so I'd have a good line of sight when he comes in ... and what do you know if he wasn't there hanging around the pen in broad daylight!
Of course I wasn't expecting to see him there so I didn't have my gun and he booked it out into the multi-100 acre pasture that borders our yards.
I walked back to the house and came back with the gun and got the tripod set up and waited. He wandered back into the yard at about 7:30 and took a 115 gr 6.8 HPBT round (it's what I had in the first mag I picked up) between the eyes.
That didn't turn out to be such a good shot for the purposes of a BBQ as the bullet left the back of his head and entered his back then fragmented wiping out the backstraps as well as devastating his chest cavity.
Took care of the problem I was asked to solve but I was a bit disappointed as he would have probably been pretty good eating.
