Marine Core coworker called me Sunday evening wanting to kill some stuff. Arrived on property about 8:00 pm. Threw out a couple pumpkins, and some fruity soured corn and went to check another feeder. Meanwhile he found a possum and raccoon to shoot..... Back to the baited area. We climbed in a big box blind on side of road facing plowed field with feeder at 75 yds. Windows on L and R look up and down the adjacent road. Pumpkin and corn under feeder and also about 1/4 mile down the road (good thermal view from stand). Started hand calling for predators. Shortly after a bobcat comes out of tree line on my friends side down the road about 250 yds down. We decide to stalk in. On the way some pigs came out another 100 yards down and scared off the cat. We stalked up to about 75 yards and my buddy dropped his first pig with a head shot and then quickly dropped another with a follow up shot in the rice. At that point I started shooting with IR laser. We might have gotten another one but he kept running. He was really hoping for the bobcat but all in all was a good night considering it was so last minute.


 
good for him...way to get it done
 
Way to go getting another buddy hooked.
 
And... a wet sow at that. Very good!! Congrats. Too bad you didn't hit some Happy Meals as well.
 
Awesome hogs down!! Congrats to your friend.
 
Very nice! It's good to take out a sow like that, leaves some vulnerable little footballs.
 
thanks yall... It was a good time. He was talking about how stressed he had been lately being over worked. His GF even encouraged him to get out with me..

funny side note.. he always makes jokes about teaching me how to shoot and hit my targets.. well we saw a racoon when we first arrived that he missed at 75 yards.. i offered the shooting sticks but he declined. so when we approached the hogs i told him to place the gun on my shoulder for the first shot as a brace. he started to say no, but i reminded him of the miss and told him to take the easier shot and that he didnt have anything to prove... but i really did it so i could give him a hard time now and tell our coworkers how i had to help him so he could make the shot... lol
 
Great that you took out a big breeder…

As time goes, the story will evolve - the hog gets bigger and your shoulder becomes an ear lobe.
 
lol it's become an ongoing joke quoting napoleon dynamite about how far away we could still shoot a hog from "I bet I could shoot a hog over them mountains over there!"
