Went out this morning to kill some pigs. First time I've hunted with anything other than my bow on this place. I got a new weatherby tactical 12gauge for Christmas and decided to give it a try after sighting it in. At 4am a group of about 20 pigs came in and a nice fat sow fave me a broadside shot at 40 yards. I pulled the trigger and nailed her right in tight to the shoulder. I was hunting in a river bottom and they all bolted right at the river. She followed and barely made it over the bank. Sure enough right about half way across she sank never to be seen again. Went back and followed the blood and had great pink frothy blood right up to were she went in at. Walked the bank up and down and couldn't find her. Must be a sign I should stick with the bow.

Good thing is there are plenty more and they will be backComment

I thought about that but I was trying to save the skull for a euro mountComment

It happens, but there are about 8,000,000 more to shot. THe catfish thank you.Comment

I had already pictured fresh boneless pork steaks sizzling in the panComment

A Euro mount with holes in the skull would be kinda sweet I think.Comment

A 12 gauge slug would be one heck of a hole lolComment
-
That would be.Lol I didn't think about that. Figured you used buckshot or something. It should have been dead on the spot but they're tough no matter what you use. It takes quite a bit to stop one that's not ready to be stopped.Comment

She rolled completely over and barely made it to the bank. I don't know what made her think she could swimComment

Must've been the hole you knocked through her. Let to much water in.lolComment
