New property close to home 1st hunt!

[theblakester]

Found a friend with property 30 mins from me on the Brazos River with 370 acres. First time out scouting the property for me and showing him the NV/thermal. Saw this #180 boar in hay field that's been getting rooted up. Stalked to about 75 yards. Told friend to take him with thermal. He had issue chambering a round and the gun went "click" then when he tried to rechamber a round it jammed/double fed/the unseated cartridge didn't eject..(that may have been my fault by overloading the magazine, but I'm pretty sure I had filled the magazine and removed the top 2 rounds last week and hadn't touched it since.. Oh well). All this alerted the boar that I was holding on with the pvs-14/3x/eotech...Head on shot entered forehead, exited behind ear.

Great first night on a property that we might get to on a weekly basis, so hopefully I can start contributing to more dead hogs more often.
12.5 inch *** 6.8spc. Sig SRD762Ti-QD. 120 grain sst.

It is merely a flesh wound. Close to home hogs is a good thing! Nice shot!
