So I was out this past Friday at my buddy's ranch when we spotted a sounder about 350 yards out. We were able to close the distance down to 150 yards but no closer due to the dense population of cattle with nursing calfs. Best I could tell the sounder was comprised of 3 good size sows and at least 20 piglets of various sizes. Had my Trail XP mounted to my 10.5 inch 7.62x39 upper w/ Saker mounted running Tula 8M3 Effect loads. Waiting to get the bugs out of the video as it runs too fast to watch on my phone but based on the meat pops I got 3 at distance with the first volley as they ran to the fence and then into the tree line. Anyone else have this problem when downloading the video files to their android? Waited about 5 minute to inspect with the cows sounding the alarm. One sow lay wounded and with 3 piglets hovering close by. I was able finish them off at close range. Later I recovered a shout about 40 yards away. The next day the buzzards were circling the downed sow but also circling about 150 yards off into the tree line but the brush was too thick for me to attempt a search and recovery. Total recovered was 5. Hopefully this will be the first of many successful hunts!
