azbackwoods Report post Posted January 27, 2015 What a great hunt! This was Dawsen's first rifle tag for big game. We started the day hiking a steep ridge line and occasionally taking cover from the wind. At this time we would enjoy the view below, as well as glassing the valley for pigs & deer! The sunrise was exceptional. We were about three quarters of the way to the top when I decided to side hill to the north and check out some of the draws where the pigs could get out of the wind. As we topped the ridge I caught movement to our right, I pulled up the binoculars and sure enough it was a pig. We worked our way down about a hundred yards. I could see 3 or 4 at this time. Dawsen could not see them at first, so I gave him a cactus and a tree for land marks as they started to move. He finally spotted them, he said it was too small! I told him they are only 30 to 50 pounds. We watched them for a couple minutes and a couple moved over the ridge; I ranged them at 90 yards. We picked a single pig that moved into and opening, I said, "As soon as he gives you a broadside shot, take him." It took a couple of minutes and he turned just right. A couple seconds later, all he said was "Going." The rest is history as the pig went feet up and laid still. All Dawsen could say was "Man, man, man" the whole way down the hill to the pig.
