the temp hit 70 on sat, so i had to go! did not take long! there is a gravel road on one property and ghogs are known to lick the gravel...minerals...my new gun, a 22 BRDX pushing 63 cheeks at 3600 fps was called to duty...it's first and BANG! a rump shot which i usually do not like as too many get away after being hit, but this bullet carries 1000+ ft-lbs energy at this distance, so i took the chance. no worries, as the pig just stopped, not even a tail salute. moved to a hill to glass the holes and a barn with dirt dug out and sure enough one comes out to snack. he was snacked on by the same gun/bullet and also did not move, not even the tail thing. the 63 cheek is hollowpointed and dumped ALL it's energy in the ghog's chest...no exit. day's total was three. a good start for the year.
