Went to the lease for some chores and R and R. I have been seeing pigs on camera, but had not had a chance to thin them out at all.
Saturday morning I got in the stand (rifle, its too hot to bow hunt) about an hour before the feeder went off and well before daylight.
I had two really big boars come in early, but it was too dark and I had a bunch of cattle around so I did not chance a shot.
About 20 minutes after the feeder goes off I had three large sows, two mid sized boars and about 14 shoats come in. The trusty 22-250 took out one of the smaller boars and the shoats just kind of milled around before running off. The last one did not make it far enough. Shooting a 2 lb pig running is no easy feat. One of the better shots of my life.
