My brother and I have attempted numerous doubles over the years trying to kill pig. Each time ended with neither of us killing.
Monday evening it finally came together. My dad called and said there’s pigs in one of the pastures. I grabbed and gun and checked it out. After giving it a look over from road I decided to share and called my brother.
We made a good stalk through the terrace rows and got into position. Most of pigs were in the woods. In total we saw 4 mature pigs at various times in and out of the field. After awhile we finally identify two sows that both of us had a shot at and dropped them both.
I sounded off the cadence. Ready_Aim_Fire
As the word fire was leaving my lips he fired off first. Not sure if in that split second I pulled or if the pig moved. I hit the pig way far back but got lucky. The last time we tried a double the same thing happened except when he fired first we were aiming at the same pig. He missed and my shot was it running also a miss.
Moving forward will practice on a double. Anyone ever practice a double shot or have a cool story?
Aside from hearts, tenderloins, and backstraps from one pig, we clean and cubed everything Monday night and this morning I’m finishing the batch of jars in the canner.
