Yesterday I got off work early and decided to do some hunting. I figured out where the hogs are laying up during the day. So I made I stalk into there area. It was a little scary to say the least, I walked dab nab straight in to the middle of them, right into there living room. I had hogs grunting all around me and had movement everywhere, this one stood up and made a couple of charges at me, I had no side arm and was only carrying my single shot .22 hornet. I finaly managed to get a clear shot at her through some real thick stuff, it was a 25 yd shot and hit her right below the eye, I had a little pig fever and wasa little scared to, it was a free standing shot, soI was a tad off but the bullet went on to hit the base of the skull and neck. She went straight own. (45gr. HP) I walked up to her and had 2 small ones come in and buck up to me, I just yelled and stomped and they just ran off.
It was a hell of a job getting her out and across the stream to an area I could pick her up with he tractor.
This was here in San Antonio Tx. Right on the outskirts of town. These areas had no hogs 20 years ago. They are everywhere now, showing up in neigborhoods.
I am doing my part at least. LOL. Put some on the pit last night and had a few beverages, she's an eater, really good tasting, no wild taste at all.
I'm 5'9" and 170 lbs we figured her to be a little over 200
I need to get a scale
