I took my brothernlaw Max who rarely gets to hunt on a walk about last night. I knew we would see some pigs because my pig pipe and roll barrel have made crop circles on the property in the last week. Lots of trail cam pics. After striking out on the first two areas we headed for the third and never made it. I spotted this group of about 6 pigs lounging in a mesquite flat. We had rehearsed a shooting plan but that kinda went out the window when I unnecessarily rushed him a bit cause I thought they were high tailing it. Max had first shot. He said he was steady and felt good but must have flinched. He went for a head shot on the hog my reticle was on. I was kneeling and he was on the trigger stick to my right. Max pulled low because if you watch closely you can see his bullet flash in the infrared beam and go right under the pig's jaw. This group had been shot at last year when they were a lot smaller so they went 0-60 in a blink. I was lucky enough to get in front of this 90lb spotted young boar just before he ran behind the tree. The 110 Barnes tac-tx passed completely through both shoulders and anchored him. Max had a ball and is hooked anyway, he's ready to practice shooting at night before we go again.
