We went Saturday morning. We stopped an got coffee and then we were on our way to the woods. We talked about how many times we've been hog hunting just this year and haven't had any luck yet. We were saying we really only have about a 3% chance at seeing a hog today. We had decided that we were mostly just scouting for next years deer season and getting some exercise.
We pull up to the spot and start walking our first stop is a pond that we had seen hog sign around before. Sure enough there was a new waller in the pond, put there just that week some time, so we new there was hogs around there. We walked about 1-1/2 miles and desided to start back toward the road. We were on the last ridge when Jason yelled I see something. I started that way, just as I started down the hill he shot, I heard the Hog swall and start running up the hill. I start moving faster toward Jason and I finally could see Jason. He turned around and started running up the hill and yelled "Bevan help I've got a hog down here." His face looked like someone from the blare witch project. He was scared shitless.
The hog ran toward him and got as Jason said " 1 step away from Shitting a over my self." The hog turned and ran straight away, Jason turned an got 2 more shots. It was to thick for me to be able to see anything.
After Jason checked his shorts, we started blood trailing. There wasn't much blood and it was some thick crap we were walking through. I decided to run up to the road and make sure the hog didn't cross the road. I got to the road and didn't see any sign of him crossing so I started back into the woods toward Jason. I knew the hog had to be between us. About 2 min. later I heard Jason shoot. I started running toward him. The hog had hit the field and was getting away. So I leveled down on the hog and unloaded my 10/22 on him, I reloaded and unloaded another clip into the hog. He finally slowed and had a broken back leg and a broken back.
What a great day in our hunting book. We've had several trips hunting for these hogs and it finally paid off. It was a rush and a great deal of excitement. I was using a Rugur 10/22 and Jason had a Savage 22 mag.
