Was sitting in a tree stand long after sunset when i saw 8-10 grown hogs coming in. For some reason they would not approach the feeder: They may have winded me. Aimed at a black and white sow: Just then one of the hogs made the low "woof" warning sound and they started to scatter. i immediately fired, only to see a black and white sow leave the area at high speed. Thought that i had missed or wounded that hog. Started looking for a possible wounded hog.
The nephew of the landowner heard the shot and drove over with his friend while i was looking for a wounded hog. We looked together briefly and then i looked down over the bank. There lay my pig right right where it was when i fired. It was a bang flop.
The bullet entered behind the shoulder and exited just behind the offside ear. The guys needed a pig for a roast and they got a nice fat one.
Will shoot a few more hogs with this bullet and then try the 280 grain Harvester hard cast.
The cell phone photo is bad but you can tell that its a hog.
