Decided to go hunting today. The weather was perfect, cold and windy, so I hit the thick cedars. I knew the hogs would be on the south side of the hills in the thick cedars. Went walking down some old trails that had lots of signs. Looks like they have been rooting in this area for a while at least since the last rain. Shots in this stuff are 25 yards or less so you have to go slow and listen. I had walked about 500 yards from my truck when I heard a low grunt. I stopped and started looking hard through the sticks when I saw 2 60 lb pigs rooting under a oak tree. I didn't have a clear shot at anything. I picked an opening that they were headed to and waited for the to cross it. This little pig was the first one in the opening so he got it. The first shot was a gut shot and the pig took off running I made a wild follow up shot that hit him in the shoulder and that was it. At my first shot you could hear hogs take off everywhere. Not a big one but it beat sitting at home. The second pic shows how thick the area is. I would usually use my 458 Socom but the 6.8 with the 120 SST did the job.
