ctafoya Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Finally got it done after some long nasty hikes. First one down Friday morning second one down Sunday morning. First animals down for both of them. Saw lots of critters on this hunt. Friday morning we glassed up a monster pig just over 500 yards. We decided to go after it and see if we could find him again. We made it to the ridge he was on and started glassing. It came out on the hillside to our left with another equally huge pig. Ranged them at 265 yards. The oldest boy is good to go out to 300 yards but the youngest only to 100 so we decided to circle around the mountain and head them off. We make it up to the top and its pig central. Must have been at least 15. Braden(the younger one) finds the one he wants. Tyler sees them but cant find them in the scope. Braden lets the .243 loose and drops his pig. It was staring right at him and hit it behind the jaw broke it in about 100 places and ripped through the windpipe jugular and spine. Also found that the skull cracked as well. Thats why he didnt get the stick in mouth picture. In all the commotion Tyler never got a shot off. Went back out Saturday and didn't see anything but bugs. Sunday morning we hike back up the same mountain to see if the pigs have come back. We get to our spot and we got pigs in the same place 15 yards away from the first pig. Tyler gets ready and cant stop shaking and lets one loose and hits him a little far back. Pig looks a little angry with a fist size hole the .308 left in him so i tell Tyler hit him again since he started walking away. Second shot did him in. They have deer coming up Halloween day so back to the range and hopefully they slow the shakes down on the next hunt. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
