This field has seen a lot of activity, often occurring before dark. I set up at a pre-scouted hide 505 yards away; rifle on top of the truck cab, bipod extended on the front, sandbag under the back. I barely noticed the 2mph wind on the left side of my face, so I just set the elevation knob for nine and a half moa verticle correction.



On cue, about 20 hogs came running out of the treeline with ample daylight left. When the biggest hog presented a shot, I touched the 12oz trigger and the 140gr AMAX knocked him off his feet. He laid on his side kicking for a moment, but never got up.

Disappointer.... Only 1 kill. At that yardage we now expect the entire herd knocked out.

I hear ya. Disappointing for me too. I don't quite have the lead figured out for running hogs at 6 to 7 hundred yards yet. Plus it's hard to pick them back up at 22 power.

Now that I know where they come out, I plan to sit on their trail and shotgun them in the face. Would be a cool video if they come out in the day again.

But he has grown them and formed a fan club along with the Pig Man. The eyebrows and djones autographed caps are member requirements. East still is in the early Rogaine stages of his unibrow though. Pig Man has the full djones look already grin
