I was out last night; it was brutal here with the dew points in the mid 70's and the temps in the low 90's. Went to another farm where I wanted to give the bean field one last chance since the height is approaching un-huntable status. For this safari, I took my lightweight Model 7, 223 Rem with the 20" Douglas Match barrel since there are no shot opportunities beyond 200 yards in this field. This rifle is a joy for the field.
It was past 7 before I saw the first hog, 83 yards. I typically shy around from shots under 100 yards, but this bad boy was wreaking havoc on the farmer's beans. So, I put him down. Another hog-zilla monster.
Moved to another area in the field and it wasn't until a little after 8 PM, that I saw one emerge from a brush line into the beans. Had to take a standing shot due to the height of the beans. Dropped him at 142 yards. Again, another monster.
What's going on with all these hog zilla monsters? Climate change? Radiation releases? Steroids in the alfalfa?


(And before any says in didn't happen - I have pictures on my Flip phone

and will gladly text them to interested parties)
