A doe and hog this evening for my son

I took my son out hunting this evening. He just turned 17 last week, and we went out to see if we could get a doe or a hog. Turns out it wasn't long and about 10-12 hogs showed up at the feeder. I told him to gun for the biggest sow, and a neck shot so we wouldn't end up having to trail in the thick brush. At the shot, they scattered like a covey of quail, and I figured he has missed, but would go look when the hunt was over and it was only about 5:15.

He was bummed, but I told him maybe a doe would show up. Sure enough, about 6pm a doe and fawn showed up. He took really careful aim, since we though he had already missed. At the shot she dropped like a rock. We went down to inspect her and also saw a big spray of blood under the feeder. So, he did hit the hog. Sure enough, a short blood trail and we had the sow too. She was also hit right in the shoulder.

I said, "I though you were shooting for the neck?". He just shrugged.

Anyway, after pictures we headed in to do the dirty work.
