We've had a busy week. Sunday my good friend randy II joined Michelle and I for some hog hunting. Michelle was the first to get on a hog about 10 minutes into the hunt she shot him at close range with the 7mag. The Randy found a few and killed one with his 7mm-08. A little later on I found one and shot it with a 12 ga. Remington slug with my Eotech scope.
Monday Michelle and I drove about an hour to meet with new landowner, he called and told me he had 12,000 acres that he wanted hogs and predators killed on. After a quick drive through to show us around, Michelle and I went back to a spot I thought looked good. Michelle spotted a big boar in the sand dunes and killed him with the 7mag.
Wednesday Randy I and his son Ethan hunted with me. Ethan has been hunting with me since he was 7, he also wrote a essay about me being his mentor and got a $500 scholarship for it. I was quite honored and humbled by it. Anyway as we got to the place we intended to hunt we caught an awesome break, there were lots of hogs in the field. We snuck into position and steadied for the shot we discussed who would shoot which hog and counted down. The hogs were about 100 yards and on 3 Ethan and I fired, I hit my hog in the head, Ethan missed but made good on a 150 yard running shot with a 300 wsm. I picked a second hog and dropped her at 175 yards running with my .243 Icon. We loaded our hogs and continued hunting only I changed guns for brush hunting to my Remington 12 ga. with the Eotech scope. Michelle, Randy, Ethan and I all ended up on a wheat field. There were hogs in the field, Ethan was the closest of the others and he was over 300 yards away he motioned to me to go after them, I was about 200 yards away. I stalked to within 85 yards picked out the boar. He was facing me and when he put his head down I steadied the shotgun on my Bog Pod with the sight right on the crown of his head and squeezed. He dropped and the others thought it was a cool thing to watch. This is one hunt we'll remember forever.
Slug gun hog and shot placement.The slug gun and the Eotech are a deadly combo, I've taken 3 hogs with it so far.
