BIG FLA HOG!
Well we caught up to a big one that lots of people were seein. Ran a sow in heat line to the stand and waited. About a half an hour before dark I decided we should get down and stalk the line back out to see if we could close the time gap. Sure enough we caught him crashing through some palmettos. We really started losing light, so I decided we should approach the noise with shouldered weapons and see what happens. He stepped out and we let him have it. A 12 and a 20 guage magnum Rottweiler slug at the same time. Believe it or not he didn't drop. Did a 180 back into the stuff and came right back out at us full charge. I got out of the way just in time and my buddy Sgt. Rock let one more loose at him as we were getting out of his way. that was enough to turn him and break the charge. Here he is!!

RE: BIG FLA HOG!
Having never hog hunted in my life but being thrilled at the opportunity, what does a hog like that run for weight? When (notice I did not say if) I hunt them, I want to do it with a muzzleloader. I was wondering what kind of distances a person could expect to encounter from a stand type hunting situation. I am guessing that they take a lot of killing to drop one. That way I can work up a good load to get the job done...
thanks, and congratulations. |
