this hunt was fraught with problems. completely unpacked truck to put in shop. being forgetful, i didn't get everything put back in. no dvr, no camera. i know this is the vid section, but with a name like sum ting wong i expect a little latitude.

bumped a couple hogs in the brush. no time for setup. told buddy stick gun out window and i'll count. uhh ohh. batteries dead, no scope. tell him to fire away. no hits, no hogs. grrrrrrr

next herd had a monster guarding the way. i put the old dj special right in the sweet spot. immediately started my swing on the others and noticed he didn't go down. he didn't even flinch, just took off. hit him again but he wasn't having any of it. i pumped more rounds after him but he made it over 250 yards to base camp. not sure what buddy was doing. no hogs.

wind and rain changed up all night and literally came from all four directions through the course of the hunt. next herd had a wind shift aaaaaaaand... they're gone!! no shots, no hogs.

i'm getting frustrated... as this coyote found out.

next herd was an easy stalk in the drizzling rain. moved in right next door to them. 3,2,1 dead pig. hogs everywhere but buddy forgot to chamber a round. i'm tracking/shooting and one runs right in front of me. reacquire and pick right back up tracking/shooting. then another pig runs through my field of view again even closer... really close. repeat the procedure. several hits but only two pigs in view. phone pics will have to do.

Them hogs are tore up! Nice!

You must have caught what I had last hunt. Someone kept putting my rifle on safety while I wasn't looking and could not make the dvr happy no matter what. Glad to see I passed it on. Maybe your buddy caught it and you won't bring it back to me.

Good pigs no matter what!

Yeah, I used to have the same thing happen to me while duck hunting. I'd shoot a duck, and an invisible hand would reach down from the heavens and heal it. Lucky duck never even missed a wing beat. Happened more than once …

One of your more bloody hunts!

You sure you didn't just run over those with your truck. I don't even see bullet holes.
