The wife finally put a nice hog on the ground. She has been working pretty hard for one and all the hours paid off.
She was hunting with her AR-15 in 7.62X39. Lately the hogs have been coming in earlier than normal, they've been very nocturnal. The big lone boar came in about 5pm, but wouldn't give Lucrecia a decent shot. He would almost clear the brush then turn back into the thick stuff. This game went on for almost 30 minutes; her nerves were nearly shot when he finally committed to coming in.
She was able to gather her self and made a perfect shot low just behind the ear. After the last incident tracking a hog (she was attacked by my bow shot hog...a story of it's own), she decided she would stay ready for a possible follow up if the hog tried to get up. But it was "game over" and no follow up shots were needed.
Her hog is one of the largest we've killed on the lease in the last 18 years and I bet it was pushing 300lbs. He was quite a load for the wife I to get into the truck too.
Here they are…sorry for all the blood, but the camera's battery was nearly dead and only had enough juice to take a couple pics before it bit the dust!
