Wife just shot one here. Young county

26. Two in Stephens county on Sunday.

+1 Houston Co. 300BO, 135 FTX, 100 yds, Rattler v2. No I didn't go into the thicket to recover. Don't go in there even in the day.

Maybe you guys that shoot hogs can tell me why this one (I know it was hit) wandered around in the brush for a couple minutes. Looked like it kept walking around/back & forth around a couple trees, I couldn't get a second shot. I've seen them crawl, run fast, legs in the air but never this. Mixed hardwood and briar tree line is about 20 yds deep with a small creek behind it. Strange.

+12 in Young County=39

+2 more pigs inTaylor county this morning.
Total now 41.

San Saba, one on Thursday night, three tonight. Add four!

45

+1 Fort Bend County, 46.

Another kill with the Yugo M98/48 Mauser, 8x57 really knocks them dead. Also broke my personal record longest hog kill with a 350 yard shot.

+1 = 47 Hunt County

+2 = 49

+1 this evening in Fort Bend County, 50.

Another one down with the 130 grain Fusions from the Tikka 270, about a 210 yard shot.

Got 1 yesterday evening in Young county.

+1 Stephens county...52

Got a big boar this evening in Young County.

54 (pictured), 55 (adolescent), 56 and 57 (piglets), North Runnels. Interesting... when momma goes down, there's no one to give a warning squeal to and so the adolescents and piglets CAME BACK to the corn. I emptied a 4-round magazine from a CZ600 American ST2. Crazy pigs. Nice gun, by the way.

59
Wife got 2 in Young county this evening.

11 down in Palo Pinto County this past week.

Another at least 10 that we are pretty sure were hit but we didn't recover. But we can't count them.

A lowly add ONE from San Saba Sunday night. He was bigger than the hogs I've been getting routinely over the last year or so, I'm guessing 190 for this one. He may have been even bigger, but I didn't think I'd be breaking any records or anything for this property so I just dragged the stinkin SOB to the same place the rest of them go.

He was the only live hog I saw on the property over three days and nights, which is very unusual. It turns out there is a large dog frequenting the ranch, and we found evidence that this dog is hunting the property himself. The evidence was a dead hog the next morning very near where I killed the one in the photo. A hog killin dog is not an undesirable thing, but we don't know that he won't kill cattle too and we don't want him effing up our hog hunting. We'll deal with that one way or another.

19 over 2 nights in windmill country
