wahoo
looks like a good day despite the heat.
We have been working 7 days a week but I finally got a weekend off although it was blistering hot out, and my hunting partner/brother had to go out of town to work for the weekend so I went out with just me and my fireball.
I really wanted to try out the hog wagon but by next weekend it should cool down and the are starting to cut some of the fields.
Sat was just to hot I think I saw a couple but they were just to far and I wasn't about to give up my spot in the shade so Saturday was a bust. Went out this morning it was a little cooler but they were still cutting are favorite field so I went back to the spot I was in on Sat, what a difference a few degrees makes I saw 7 and got 4 of them
took this one at about 125 yrds
this was the longest shot of the morning 225 yards
I shot this one pup at about 100 yrds I could have gotten a few more but I'll wait untill they get bigger the fireball sent this one airborne off the mound
this was the last one about 150 yards 25gr Vmax dropped him without a twitch
Went back out tonight after it cooled down, I saw a hog sitting by it den and a couple of small ones were out of the den also, so I tried to put the sneak on them.
I walked around the tree line and saw another hog who ran about 25 yards and stopped at the edge of his den to look back so I dropped him with the 17M2 at about 50 yards with a headshot.
This is probably the biggest hog I have taken this year actually the two biggest hogs I have taken this year were with the 17M2 the smallest varmint cartridge I have.
