Papa Bear and Baby Bear

Skipped church today...figured God wanted me to exorcise some pestilence from the earth. LOL
Anyhoot, at first light, had 4 or 5 little guys truckin out across my path, about 35-40 yds, running shot...went through both shoulders with first shot and a rear leg on second shot. Fun Stuff!
Did a sneak down and around the property but nothing else happened. Headed back to get the little fella, I set the gun up against him and took a few steps to turn around and pee.
I'm doing my business and hear something behind me...what the heck!! Giant hog running past, stop peeing in mid stride, go get the gun, turn on record button, swing and take 4 shots while he is running at full stride!
4 hits, took out his heart and lungs with 3 and one was back in the gut area. My biggest boar to date! That's a fun morning!
TBPS....you owe me some coyotes!

Just like fishing... pour a cup of coffee, or unwrap a sandwich... when the paws are otherwise occupied, that's when things happen.

Sweet, now wipe off that rifle. Off to videos to see what you recorded

Dan -
Great Hog you drilled there. Congrats.
Now if the buzzards will assist in turning the remains into successful shots on yotes.

Yes, the best way to cause something to happen is get busy doing something else. Great story, and great hog! We all know that we can enjoy God's creation and be in Church without physically sitting in Church!

Silence of the Hams. See if the bugs/ants do their job cleaning the skull.

Never fails, as soon as you let your guard down something happens.

Good job of caging that skull so ONLY the bugs work it over.

It's actually a bird trap I made. Works too!

It always seems to happen that way, now go finish peeing! Good job, what did he measure, weigh? Great idea on the trap!

Great shooting on a running boar. Also, good job stopping in mid-stream. Most guys can't stop on command.

Awesome hunt! Love it when you run into hogs when you don't expect it and take them down.
