Hogs are incredibly smart and with their fantastic sense of smell present a very fun game animal to hunt. After the first few years hunting down in the brush country I had more fun trying to shoot hogs than deer down there. This one in the picture is the last one I shot down there in 2010 on my Dad's last hunting trip before he died. He was in the blind with me and I told him to shoot it and I don't think he could see it good with his failing eyesight. I took the .243 Sako that was his favorite rifle and the only one he kept until he died and shot that hog right between the eyes. When we got out and went down to gut it and he saw where I shot it he said that's a pretty good shot son! He died just 5 days shy of his 89th birthday on 9/11/11. Hard to believe it's almost five years already since he left us! Mom is still hanging in there at a hearty 91 last month, still drives and goes to the gym twice a week where she lives down on the northeast side of San Antonio.
