Just got back from a week's visit to OH late last night, visiting our son, pregnant daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.
Decided to take a chance and see if the ghog I saw driving by was out on the property where I got the double two weeks ago. Sure enough, it was out grazing so I pulled the truck on to the shoulder of the interior road, pulled the 17 HMR from its case and loaded the clip holding four 20 gr XTP bullets. I ranged the distance at 105 yds, laid the crosshairs on its head and let fly. Smack! Dead hog! Looks like about a year old, non-nursing female.
Next I drove over to my friend's farm just up the road with the intent of trying to get the ghog that lives under a shed in the barnyard. About a half hour into the wait I spotted one standing up by the plow where I got one several weeks ago. I'm thinking to myself this must be a pup as it just stands there watching me lower the boom on him. And that's exactly what I did. Thirty yard shot.
Stuck around another half hour hoping the shed hog would appear, but no such luck. Hasn't seen the last of me!
Went home and cut the grass.
