[QUOTE="TIMEBY, post: 1690136, member: 71389"] Nothing is dumber than leaving your rifle in the truck like I did... I was hog hunting one evening from a friend's deer blind, and heard some aggressive boar fighting in the woods not far away. In a few minutes, just at sunset, four youngish but grown boars burst into the clearing where my friend had a feeder and continued to act very aggressive towards one another. I dropped one under the feeder, the rest disappeared into the brush, and I stayed put to see if they might return. After 15 minutes and complete dark, I put the rifle in the truck and walked toward the clearing with just a .45LC on my belt. As I passed the last bush on the side of the clearing the other three burst back on the scene. No moon, overcast, dark cedar trees for background, all black hogs still acting aggressive no rifle or night sights, and me within 10 yards of these guys. I can only detect movement, not even their outlines, and they were very enthusiastically dining on something, either their buddy, or corn, I couldn't tell. I couldn't even see the front sight, so I just pointed at some movement and fired. They ran off, and so did I! My next purchase was a sidearm with night sights. And I keep a rifle within arms reach whenever I'm hog hunting. They say that intelligence is being able to learn from your mistakes, and wisdom is being able to learn from other peoples' mistakes. That makes me dumber than dirt! [/QUOTE]
