Went to go hunting this am as I pulled into my spot some dude was already there.. oh well, I got plenty of places. I get to new spot and I know it's 1/2 mile into the swamp to where I wanna hunt, just cracking light so I slip in and hunt my way to the place I want to put my deer stand up and climb a tree .
I'm about 100 yds from "my spot" and I catch movement to my left. Looks like a good hog feeding, So I drop to my knee take the stand and daypack off my back, grab my .50 and start slipping towards the hog. Had plenty of shots but wanted to get close.... I close the distance to about 20 steps and he goes behind a big root system, I slip left slowly and close the distance using the root system between us for cover. I get about up to it and I can start to see the tips of his ears and hes comming right towards me. I drop to a knee and raise the Oncore, cock the hammer back and wait..... he comes around the root system and is at about 12 steps... he stops and sees me... starts "popping" his tusks( liks a dog snapping his teeth) I knew he wasn't happy I was inside his "space bubble" as I lowered the crosshairs on the top of his forehead..BOOM the .50 cal barked fire and shit smoke, when it cleared he was right there on the ground done!:thumup:
Now the fun begins 150 lb boarhog with 2 in cutters (tusks) 1/2 mile into the swamp. 30 lb deer stand 15 lb day pack and a 8 lb oncore. started dragging at 0740 and made it back to the truck at 09:10.. what a freeking full body work out!!!
This ones gonna be GOOD on the smoker boys!!!
Just for RADO.. you can see the shot on top of the forehead bro....
Remember... I'm 6'4, this one was a pretty good one for size compairison.
