Went out hunting with my wife 12/23/12. We surprised a sounder at my feeder but didn't get a shot. A small sow wondered up a little later but when I lit her up, she got out of there quick. I was too impatient & rushed it. Good thing too because about 30 minutes later, we could hear a hog circling us. Took him 30 minutes to come in to the feeder & settle down to eat. I was much more patient this time & nailed him. The shot went thru his heart, broke his shoulder, & he still managed to run/stagger 20 yds & dropped within 10 yds of our stand. He was bigger than we thought, 45 1/2" around laying on the ground & 43" hanging, a Russian mix weighing 232 lbs. with some nice cutters. I was very happy to get him because my wife was threatening to take the next shot & she can shoot! I still have bragging rights because we haven't seen any hogs on our place since.
