Pretty pregnant

About an hour and a half ago I went out to try for a large boar I have been seeing on one of my game cameras. Just before dark, about 20-25 pigs wandered into the area, but not the big boar I was after. I watched them for a few minutes and decided what the heck, I can take this larger sow, go home and get some sleep. I had to shoot her a couple times to keep her down, and of course the rest ran off.....but as soon as I put my rifle down, that big boar I was after ran across the area and into the thick woods. Looks like another night out there in store for me.

Good kill. Those boars aren't the ones dropping vermin every time you turn around.

I try for the larger boars whenever possible. I shot this one last night...he never had a clue what hit him. Dropped on the spot.

My son killed this pregnant sow. When we cut her open, there were four little pigs in her.

That's pretty common, finding a group of babies in the sows. Usually I've found around 6 at a time. I could post pic's, but that's getting a little too graphic I think.
