There’s a large sounder in an irrigated soybean field last night. Beans are about knee high and we are driving to get closer to them into a stiff wind. We’re confident they will not hear us approach.
Problem is there is a lone boar by itself and the rest of the hogs are essentially in one large group another 250 yards upwind of that one.
We decided that because we had such a nice wind to shoot the first hog with my 9mm carbine to avoid spooking the rest of the hogs.
My IRD 35 mm is currently on my 9mm and I didn’t have any way to video with it.
That one went down like a hammer and the rest of the hogs only moved slightly from the shot and commotion. The plan worked.
A short walk back to the truck and switch out rifles back to my 308 for the larger group.
My first thre shots were all hits. I watched the video several times and think I saw four more go down during the melee.
