SlayerBeall and I have gone after these two hogs a couple of times now. Last time, we didn't see squat. This time, one hog made an appearance. My job was spotter. Angry Bird's job was to be a rifle rest. SB was the shooter. We discussed possibilities before getting in the blind and it was agreed that she would only shoot if she was comfortable with the shot, no pressure from me. I spotted the hog coming in and shot got on the rifle...
Well, I can't argue with her with not shooting before she was ready. She didn't miss and we didn't spend hours looking for a wounded hog. She just didn't shoot, LOL. We chatted about timeliness. Next time, the plan is to shoot when the sight settles on target.
All in all, a positive learning experience for both of us despite the voice in my head at the time screaming...
Okay, it was a boar, but you get the idea.
