these hogs invaded a freshly planted peanut field. night vision would have been useless since i was facing into a spectacular lightning storm. hogs were moving, and i couldn’t decide which end i wanted to start on. then they bunched up together on the right and decided for me.

at first i thought i blew it because i didn’t have any tumblers, but i think i hit a few. i like how the hog on the right stood up on his hind legs and prayed for redemption before taking his last breath.

i only had time to snap a couple pics of the close ones. the storm was on top of me, and i would be in the belly of the beast in seconds.

here's a quick clip of some daytime hogs i just happened to come up on. no shooting from the road and i didn't have either side so we just played around. note this was not harassment of animals, all fun.

 
Good stuff, you have a target rich environment out there! How many did you end up getting out of the group? I bet you coulda caught that last one on foot he was so worn out.
 
Looked like several went down, loved the chase, how fast were you going to keep up w them?
 
not sure how many went down. i wouldn't have even photoed the two except they were close and i could see them. there really was a monster of a lightning storm and i didn't want to get flooded in and spend the night there.

i think the sow was probably running at about 35mph, but i didn't check the speedometer. she looked to be in good shape and running on a hard dirt road... she might have hit 40??

i really don't care about hogs or shooting at all. i just do it to piss off scram. i think it's working.
 
Boy you put the stank on a few of them!! Then that pig running when he turned on the after-burners that was pretty neat, to top it off he decided to play pet dog and run beside you!! FUNNY THINGS!!!! BANG BANG!!
 
Hi-Ho Silver!!! Away !!! Oh, wait... flop.

I'd suggest that sow was hauling ass... but, she was hauling hog. And, doing a good job of it too.
