I got an invite from a buddy of mine that lives in Texas to come down and shoot some hogs, exotics, etc.
I've been down there a few other times, but this trip was crazy with the amount of hogs.
It was short notice, but I gave 1-pointer a call to see if he could make it...sure enough, he could.
We met down there in the early afternoon and had basically 2 days to hunt. Glad we didnt have 3 days as the hog killing was off the hook.
The first evening we hunted, 1-pointer didnt waste any time and smoked up 5 hogs with 3 shots! Scored a triple with his first shot, then got two on the fly. I missed one trying for a head shot.
Later that night, we broke out the AR's and night vision that my buddy has...its kind of crazy how well you can see through that stuff. We got some shooting in and bagged a couple more hogs at the feeder closest to the house.
The next day and a half was about the same...I doubled twice, getting 4 hogs with 2 shots and got a few more.
1-pointer shot some more hogs and an exotic doe. We saw lots of axis, fallow, sika, blackbucks, turkeys, auodad, etc.
When the smoke settled...14 hogs, 1 exotic doe, 1 corsican sheep, and a rio gobbler had bought the farm.
As always my buddy rolled out the red carpet...great food, a few cocktails, and about as much shooting and fun as you can handle in 2 days. I dont know how much meat Pointer ended up with, but I have nearly 70 lbs of breakfast sausage in the freezer and a bunch of pork loin. Great eating stuff.
A few pics, 1-pointer will add some more I'm sure.
