Had the first shot get away a lil bit, but the next 4 were great for 50 yards! Tomorrow I will try 100 yards to see how low it shoots, but mainly spend my time at 75-85 yards.

Floyd and I this morning found a big surprise in one of the traps! I finished it off and we went back for the hoist and went and got my dad and brother so we could skin her out. Floyd said 200+ lbs. After the shot, the hog died on top of the door and we had pure hell trying to move her off it due to her size and having to reach in between the bars on the trap. Lots of bacon on her!
Believe it or not, this is the ENTRANCE hole.
exit,

only one rack of ribs was ruined, everything else was perfecto!
I didn't want to ruin the skull cap. I skinned the head and will bring it home to boil and make a nice mount to remember the days of hunting with ol falcon.
The bottom jaw on a hog is just amazing, it reminds me old the old cavemen, just massive bone structure.
