caught these out just before dark stampeding across the field. I pulled up along side and stuck the ar15 out the window and started dealing out the lead. didn’t take long for them to figure out there was no future in their current strategy and decided to cut back across the field. the rows were too deep for me to follow, so I turned around and circled to the other side. a few little ones were running down the rows right at me, but I wanted the big ones, and there was no time to waste.
the wind was wrong for a power slide, but I had no choice as they were already crossing ahead of me into the brush. as the vehicle skidded into position, a cloud of dirt engulfed me. nothing I could do but wait. when I finally caught glimpses of the stragglers, I finished off the magazine. 30 rounds with a LOT of hits and the 223 only had 6 hogs down. the 308 would have looked like it parted the red sea (although i don't think i could have held it out the window while driving).
I can’t count how many dropped, somersaulted and/or squealed, only to never be seen again. I think lawdawg may be on to something, and I’m going to invest in a good mechanical pencil, which should be about 100 times more powerful that a 223. anyway, thermal is back and i hope to get it into action soon.
