20a tag soup

Recommended Posts

Well another year of tag soup for me. I didn't get to scout at all which was part of the problem but we did get lucky and stumble into some javos. We couldn't close the deal though.

 

We were working a hillside and my buddy in the lead saw them, but they saw us first. They were on the move, especially after my buddy racked a round into the chamber...oops. he got 1 shot off but missed.

 

I waited as the herd moved around and I got a shot for a split second but also missed. My buddy in the lead got 1 more round off but couldn't connect.

 

After my shot another part of the group moved out even closer to me and I could have made that shot for sure but I didn't know if the other pig was hit so I didn't shoot.

 

As we worked toward the spot were I thought mine was 1 broke out behind us from who knows where and my other hunting buddy lined up the shot, but as he lined up I saw piglets running out behind her so I called him off.

 

It was cool to get on the herd but I wish we would have at least put 1 down.

 

The next day I did get to see the biggest muley buck I have seen personally in 20a though. He was a nice wide and tall 3x4. Me and him have a date in October as long as I can draw a tag...

 

Moral of the story is I will be practicing offhand shots more this year. My rifle hits what I aim at so this one is on me.

Sounds like you had a good hunt. I also saw some nice bucks on my pig hunt this year. I know of a couple of other hunters that also saw some nice bucks on their pig hunts too.
