My friend and I finally got some time last week to do another hunt/hog control on his relative's
chicken ranch. As we rode ATVs to search for hogs on open terrain, we spotted a feral hog about
200yards away downhill. By the time we dismounted our ATVs, I grabbed my bolt action .308Win,
my partner lasered in the hog and called out the distance "146yards". Click-Click, bi-pods
engaged, I am flat on the ground, I told my friend to "focus on the head", as he looked thru the
binocs.
Cross-hairs on the hog's head, I thumbed the safety off, and gently squeezed the 2# Accu-
trigger. Boom, the 150gr SST bullet flew @ ~ 2850fps, impacted the right side of the head just
below the eye. Angle of entry was about 75deg, exited between the jaw & neck area. The ground
was sprayed with massive blood splatter. Instant death was delivered, the SST bullet did its job
well on this ~180# boar, though the bullet was not found, I assumed it mushroomed well to have
created a 3" exit wound.
While we walked the brushes, my M4gery strapped to my chest, I saw a sow, ~150# about 40
yards away with two youngins, about 60 & 70# in tow. As they trotted along, my Aimpoint's
red-dot was on the sow's neck. Boom, sow went down, red-dot re-targeted on the first youngin's
shoulder within a second, Boom, first youngin downed, 2nd youngin took off out of sight in the
brushes. Oooh, the excitement of fast sight acquisitions, and multiple targets. The 2nd youngin
returned into sight, gave my friend the AR, Boom, 2nd youngin downed. Lord, red-dot & an AR
is so much fun for multiple targets. We're done for the day. Hope we have this much luck on
our next hunt/hog control.
~180# boar
