So my buddy, Jay, has been hearing for years about me hog hunting and asked if he and a couple of friends could come down and give it a go. I warned him that hogs were not plentiful at my place, but this is when they had a break to come, so they came. For three nights they hunted with nothing to show for their efforts. We were part way through the 3rd night we heard several shots and impact thumps from NW of us and I figured it might be Glenn Guess and sent him a message. Apparently, Glenn and his wife were on the hogs. I begged off on a dead hog so that my friends would not go home empty handed. Glenn and Michelle brought over 3 hogs! He then gave us all a quick lesson in field butchery and said we could come down afterwards and try to get on some hogs in Wise County since there were so few up where we were. COOL!
Glenn first gave us a little show and tell with his giant piglets out back and we were off to hunt. Things started slow but picked up as the evening progressed. Despite some careful coaching, Hanna just could not drop a hog despite tries at two different locations. Jay got a chance and did well with an excellent head shot at maybe 40 yards (see video). We spotted hogs several more times but did not get another opportunity for a shot.
In the end, the folks from Colorado went home this morning with meat from four hogs in their cooler, extremely pleased with their hunting experience.
Watch carefully on the video. I didn't think the detail would show, but you can see the bullet in flight just before impact and the spray from the impact.
Thanks Glenn!!!
