I took my 12 year old and two of clients on a pig hunt with Neil at GSGS over the weekend. Like always Neil didn’t disappoint. I wasn’t hunting I was just along to help out and drag pigs.
Friday night the kid put down a beast of a boar with his little Ruger American Compact 243 80g TTSX he missed him at 150 then put one A little far back but good enough at 250 and finished off with a rear knee capper on the run. Had the thing spinning like a gut shot coyote. He was pumped and this honestly made my trip. He wants this ugly bastard hung up in his bedroom @BOWUNTR he’s coming your way. He says he will use it to pick his wife if she sees the boar and says no way then she’s out and he’s onto the next one lol. Mom has given up at this point dead stuff is everywhere she’s just use to it.
Saturday morning we found some pigs but didn’t close the deal we spent the day fishing can’t go wrong with senkos and night crawlers.
Saturday night rolled around and I picked up a boar with the 15s about a mile out. Neil got my customer 250yds above him about a 45deg angle shot. He was shooting some new federal copper bullets out of his Savage 116 30-06 150g only paid $24 for 20 and they killed just as good as anything I have seen. He plowed him and the stinker ended up rolling into a stock pond cleaning himself up for us.
Right at dusk we came up on a cute little brown and black feller. He didnt want to play ball so my customer shot him on the run with my Tikka T3X 260rem 127g LRX. This combo has spilled a lot of blood over the past 3 years and it did its job like it always does.
Just like that three pigs were down and we were hanging out by the fire laughing and having a good time. The customers pigs are up at Specialty meats getting processed and I am making the boy process his own tonight when I get home from work. Nothing better than watching the kid smoke that boar. I can’t wait to get him out for deer season. His confidence level is up and when it came time to kill he was in the scope and on the trigger. Definitely has a lot of growing to do and some nerves to shake off but he got it done and he brought home the bacon.
