[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1017525, member: 50867"] Well, if you can call glassing the horizon and locating a bunch of pigs two miles distance - then driving like crazy across the chuck hole filled dirt roads to get close enough to jump out, stalk the critters and get a shot "long distance hunting" then this one qualifies. We had hunted all day, starting in morning fog and pressing on through a sunny late morning and afternoon. Lots of sign but they were all bedded down in the brush somewhere. Our little jack russell terrier barked up a couple but the brush was too thick to get a shot as they darted out the other side. At dusk the terrier had retired for the day and we spotted the two milers in the binos .... the rodeo began. Left the truck at the bottom of a hill, climbed quietly to the top from where we figured we'd see the drift from that vantage point. Sure enough, way down there in the brush was a drift of about ten porkers. Daylight was nearly gone so they were difficult to distinguish from the thick brush but I was able to single out one young boar. The .270 did it's job well. By the time we got back to the truck, drove around the mountain and got to the kill site it was already pretty dark. Field dressed, skinned and in the game bag and on our way home within an hour. Any day hunting is a good day. [/QUOTE]
