You fellows need a little stimulus to get you motivated to go out and shoot more hogs. So here it is. I shot these two along with 8 more out at my deer lease here in Texas. I got these two and 6 more on one stand in the morning. Here is how it went down.:
After sitting in the stand for about an hour with my thermal, one customer came in at 6:31am near my feeder to the west at about 106 yards. Because the night crew had cleaned up all of the corn and roasted soybeans during the night, the 150-pound boar was doing a "drive by". I decided it was light enough and grabbed my daytime rifle. It is a suppressed 6.5 Grendel with120 grain ELDM bullet. Shot him a little further back than I intended, probably because I didn't compensate enough for his forward movement. He ran off into the thorny brush while leaving a decent blood trail.
Thinking I likely would not see anything else; I was planning to get down as I was almost out of coffee. While I was finishing the last few swallows of coffee, at 7:03am a 100-pound boar, came in to the feeder to the north. This feeder has a fence around it, but I opened one side to let the pigs get in. As he made his way to the opening, I dropped him right in the fence opening. Same gun at 97 yards this time.
While thinking to myself that this was a successful morning, at 7:21am a 95 pound sow with four 20 pound piglets came in to the north feeder. Dropped her but she was doing the chicken and the piglets didn't know what to do. Unfortunately for them, 3 of them lined up and I shot all in one shot. The other piglet ran off but came back a couple of minutes later and I got it. No pictures of the piglet carnage as it was deemed too graphic.
No picture of the first hog since I don't like those thorns.
First feeder picture is the west feeder and second one is the north. This is what goes on when I am not there!
