I was hunting a place by Shamrock TX this morning. Before shooting light I have about 12 whitetails out in a wheat field and my intention was to take a fat doe. Before legal shooting time all of the deer looked to the south and took off running. I wasn't sure what spooked them since I was really quiet and the wind was good. About 30 seconds after they ran off a big group of hogs came out. The guy that owns the property has been talking about the hogs tearing up his winter wheat so I decided to help him out.
Dropped the biggest sow in the bunch with a single Barnes 130 gr TTSX from my 308 Win. Bullet hit her at the base of the ear at about 170 yards. This was a really big pig and went a little over 300 lbs on a scale. One less rooter to tear up the field. But I still need a burger doe so I'll have to try again next weekend. Not a big hurry since I can hunt does on this property until mid-Feb.
Cheers Y'All
