    I was standing in the LR window to take the picture over the top of my car. If the car wasn't there, I would have shot from my chair. :cool:


    I've been coming out to this place since the 70s and have lived here for 4 years and never saw a pig until today. The neighbors have complained and I have seen the damage, just never saw a pig. I watched (mainly the bushes shaking) about 6 pigs working the tree line in the tall grass for about an hour. There was several times I had an OK view but was never comfortable taking a shot. Even a couple of times I wondered if I could get a 2 fer 1. ;)

    They finally came out of the tall stuff where I have corn out for the deer. I peeked around the corner of the house and popped him from about 60'. They scurried into the grass, one much slower than the others. I put on some boots and went looking for him, turns out he dropped about 15' from POI.

    So there it is, my 1st pig story :cool: Don't laugh, everyone has to start somewhere.

    Oh yea, even as I prepped this thread the others had returned so I may get more tonight.

    Step 1 should be to move the car out of your line of sight. Those things multiply faster than rabbits. Shoot as many as you see next time, and invite folks over to shoot even more.

    This may be your first time to see them, but left unchecked, in a year or two you won't remember a week where you didn't see any. The fact they taste good and everyone wants to shoot them for you actually works to your advantage.

    them little water melons are the best eaters, only next time.....head shot, wont waist a bit of meat. Soooo, when is the pit gonna fire up?
    I'm not what you would call a good cook. Hell I'm not good enough to be a bad cook so this one is going to the circle of life.

    I considered a header Greg, but last time I shot the rifle (granted it was at 100yds) it was hitting around 3" out of POA.
