Hello everyone. I’ve been on the fishing forum a little while, and am glad I found this forum too. I’ve hunted all my life, and have been lurking here for a while. I thought here’s a good post to start off with.
I talked to my grandpa a couple days ago. He said “yea, me and my buddy are going to go squirrel hunting.” Cool cool. Next day I call him and ask him how he did and he laughed for 10 minutes…He said he couldn’t find any shotgun shells as he was about to leave, so he said “ah well, I’ll just grab the .22” So they get out there, and it’s right around daybreak. They’re standing in the woods, but right off of a trail. As the sun as coming up, wouldn’t you know it, a big old hog comes trotting down the trail. Good thing he didn’t bring his shotgun, lol. He took the .22, aimed, clicked the safety, and the hog heard it. He turned and was about to run when BANG. Well, he kept running anyways. He searched for 2 hours for that thing before giving up. He said “well, I’ll just go back squirrel hunting.” 30 minutes later, while walking around in the woods, he just happened to walk right past it! 150 lbs. hog. This makes his 2nd hog he’s killed with a .22. The first was our trophy one at around 275 – 280 lbs.
