[Double Naught Spy]

Having invoked guidance from Black Bird of Angry Birds, attempted to clear Level 1 at my place, again. Ken was in one stand watching the feeder. I was in another nearby watching a trail. The hogs happen to cross my narrow field of view. I dropped the first hog with a shot entering just below the ear and exiting the neck. Four other hogs were present and took off and another two previously unseen hogs ran past their downed buddy as well.

A half our later, we could still hear hog noises in the woods and a bigger hog walked into my field of view, hackles raised, approaching the downed hog with a bouncing diagonal gait that was rather odd. Shot him in almost the same place and had almost the exact same result.

No more hog activity and so it looks like Level 1 was cleared.

Hog #1 was 140 lbs, young male
Hog #2 was 205 lbs, young male

Shot with Hornady Leverevolution 325 gr. ammo from a Marlin 1895. Shot distance was 25-30 yards using a Pulsar N550 Digiscope NV optic.

As these hogs were part of at least one sounder that had approximate 20 individuals (identified by uniquely patterned individuals in the group that have shown up on the game cameras), we hope to clear more levels soon, but these guys have been very evasive in that they have kept a very irregular schedule. This was about my 15th trip and Ken's third since December to encounter this group.

Black Bird was pleased, but I may need more birds.
