[QUOTE="djones, post: 893990, member: 39567"] last night pigs were out all night. unfortunately three stalks were on hogs surrounded by deer, and they won't tolerate any foot traffic. before i could get in range, the deer would scatter and take the hogs with them. i cracked the security system by entering from one direction to drive the deer out the opposite side, then doubled back to make a clean approach on the hogs. that worked on the next three herds, and i do mean herds... each 35-40 strong. i'd close in to a comfortable range like i've done a thousand times, drop the biggest hog first and follow up with the closest ones. problem was, however, pigs just weren't dropping. i know for a fact i hit the white hog 7 times because i heard every impact. he just wasn't going down. hell he wasn't even slowing down. after the 7th shot i gave up and moved on, rolling the next hog. by then the others were too far even for me to waste lead on, which is pretty **** far. the white hog finally died of lead poisoning. [IMG]http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz92/djones53/lrh/sec1a_zps4b4056ac.jpg[/IMG] similar experience on the white face pig. he took at least 5 shots before rolling up. granted the shots weren't all that great, but i expect a hog hit 5 times to at least stop or fall down or something. [IMG]http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz92/djones53/lrh/sec2a_zpsc0293473.jpg[/IMG] by 5:00am the front blew in, and the gun was hard to hold steady. only two hogs from the last herd was simply the result of bad shooting.
