elkhunter Report post Posted February 24, 2017 Today my lady was able to get her first big game harvest. Her and I put many days of scouting down and got 3 herds patterned out well. This morning we located the south herd first nearly a mile out, worked our way closer to 180 yards of the herd. Since it was mostly flat with tall grass it took time before we got a shot opportunity. At 164 yards the 223 55 grain Hornady knocked down a pig. Clean pass through as well! After pictures were done and gutting we loaded up the truck and I glassed for another 5 minutes and located the second herd just right before we headed home. She was very excited about this hunt and did well with all the practice shooting and going over scenarios 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkhunter Report post Posted February 25, 2017 Here is some more pictures, took some pics while we were waiting for a shot opportunity. Took bout 25 minutes before we had a shot, Adrienne was just chillin behind the rifle waiting, calm as a duck and I was kinda freaking out cuz it was taking so long! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
