THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Okay so I've never been hunting for anything so this was my first trip. Hit it with a 220 gr 30-06 round with the feeder being around 85-95 yards away. Hunting grounds were in Okeechobee, FL. So its not an impressive pig by any means weighing it at about 120 pounds but its my first kill so here are the pictures-

heres the view from the stand to the feeder-


The pig shot just above the heart and it dropped in a heap just behind the feeder on the left side-


Pig on the ranger-


Me with the piggy-





So that's me bragging on nothing to brag about

I would love to agree with you, it did give me a pig. But, I was there for 2 days with my father and brother and they did not see one hog. So we plan on going down to the good olde state of Texas next time for a big boar.

Congrats man!
I'm going for my first hog hunt in Okeechobee at the end of this month.
Where did you hunt? Was it with a guide?

That's a very respectable hog for your first time out. You have every right to be proud of it.

Good shooting as well. Keep it up.

My theory was if I didn't hit it, it would be scared to death. Waka Waka
