Spring Hogs

Myself and another guy tried to get a hog in daylight with our Rem's, his an 8 and I had the 81. It didn't work out. We switched rifles for the afternoon. I used a .50 cal muzzleloader that I made last year. At 60 yds the bullet went right through the sow and she dropped where she stood. I guess I'm BBQ'in on Sunday!

...and I hear that TX BBQ & BBQ sauce is something to die for! Good shooting.

We saw about 60 - 80 hogs. There were two groups of 25-30 and about 15 encounters with singles. Just about every sow had four or five little ones running with her. The one I shot was one of three sows that did not have shoats with it.
