250 lb Boar - Closer Than Expected

[Double Naught Spy]

I spied this guy on the far side of a herd of cattle and then he went behind a ridge. So I headed off into the cattle in hopes of going over the ridge and catching the hog rooting the the pasture. In the time it took me to get from my observation spot to the cattle, the hog had wandered into the cattle as well. It wasn't until the cattle started moving away from me that I realized he was right there in front of me...

If you had waited a little longer, you could have stabbed him!

Awesome video!

Yep, don't stop shooting till they stop moving. Great video though.

Hogs will often kick for 30-60 seconds (normal) and some for a couple of minutes. That would make for some expensive shooting.

I certainly enjoyed that, DNS. I also thought the hog would quickly quit kicking.


Bacon with attitude.

Well, that is what they are supposed to do, only they don't seem to always know that!

Yeah on that!

I worked at a hog kill plant for 8 years. What sometimes slowed down production was the process of driving the hogs to the entry chute. An office boss passed on a suggestion, train the hogs to go into the chute and we would have no more problems. The funny part was, he was serious.

Well, you can train each one in only a few day's time, then kill each one. That will only add a few days of processing time to get each hog down the chute. Brilliant!
