Shot a hog yesterday, went out at 8:30 walked up on her in some thick brush at 9:45 and shot her at 12 feet with the AR-15 dropped like a rock. The brush was so thick I couldn't see how big she was, turned out to be somewhere in the 175-220 range. Took 2 hrs to get her out of the brush where I could cut out the meat. After we got her cleaned we went back in around 5:00pm to see if we could get my dad on one, things didn't play out right and we pushed them too hard. Saw a couple REAL big ones we counted around 10 yesterday that were within 15 yards of us. -Matt Picture doesn't do much justice, I'm still trying to work out the angles to get a perspective right so you can see how big they really are.
