Went hunting with the wife at DB Hunting Ranch. Great place by the way. I got some nice hogs she got a nice blackbuck.
Went on a hog dog hunt. First time running one down with dogs. It was outstanding.

Be polite, be professional and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
Knowledge is power, power corrupts, study hard and be evil.
I've tasted blood and I want more.

My son brought his friend to help collect the Easter ham. Both boys did outstanding! I was impressed with their decision making as I know it's hard to wait for and make a good shot, especially when you're 8 & 10 years old. This was his buddy's 1st trip to the field for pigs and he's off to a good start.

A few pictures from my hunt this morning (9 APR 12). I arrived to my hunting partner's house (he also happens to be my priest from church) at about 0445 after a very short 3 hour nap because my wife wanted to talk about "us" last night. Needless to say, when I woke up this morning, I was ready to kill something, and I'm glad hogs were on the menu. We left his house at 0505 after having the third in our hunting party no-show. NBD. We got to the ranch and I wanted to watch the back feeder on the property. I had a vendetta against this spot because the last pig I shot there got away...so I was out for vengence today. He dropped me off about 200 yards from the blind so I could slip in quietly. I was in the stand by 0635 and I could already hear the roosters crowing. I got settled in, got my binos out, locked and loaded my rifle, and took off the scope covers. I was able to sit and listen to God's creation peacefully for the next 27 minutes until the automatic feeder went off at 0702 and scared me to pieces, even though it is almost 50 yards away, it's still loud as hell. At 0706, I hear grunting and brush breaking and turn to look over my right shoulder. Three sows were cruising in for their breakfast. little did they know, it was to be thier last. I wait for 2 of the sows to get into the pen and start feeding...the third refuses to come in because she knows something is up. I decide I can't wait too long because I don't want the other two to figure it out.
It's now 0710 and the two sows in the pen are devouring the corn. I've watched and long enough. I want porkchops. I lean forward in my chair, rotate my selector switch to semi, and watch my lane (you Army guys know why that's funny) and I place the illuminated reticle of my Trijicon 3x9 on the closest sow. I know from previous lasings that I have a 47 yeard shot. My scope on this rifle is zeroed at 200 yards (2 inches high at 100 yards) and I line up on the pig's eye. She is head down eating so I know I will hit right behind her ear. I start to take the slack out of the trigger....it's only a matter of time until the crack of my 6.8 SPC puts this pig down. CRACK! The 110 grain Hornady bullet has already smashed through the pig's skull and neck. She is DRT. Squeels of panic come from the other pig in the feeding pen. In it's attempt to flee, it gets hung up in the fence. Easy pickins! I line up my crosshairs on the back side of her shoulder and fire two rounds. She screams, I know ain was true. The force of the two rounds has allowed the pig to become dislodged from the fence and she is now running in the direction from which they came only minutes before. I get one more shot at her as she's now at a full sprint. I can't be sure I hit her because once I climb down, there isn't a drop of blood to be seen from pig #2. Pig #1 is having the typical nervous twitch, so I throw a rock and hit her in the butt which doesn't phase her. I continue to look for pig #2 for the next hour+ without any success. That being said, here are my pictures of pig #1

I had the pleasure to take a buddy of mine on his first night hunt. This is HuttoAg with his first piggie. He discovered night hunting is soooo much fun. 
We got another, but didn't get a pic of it before it went for a swim it never came back from. 
Edited spelling.

Built a "snooter shooter" AR last year. It's my beat the hell out of it and I don't care because it's a "cheap" build.
This AR has more $$ in the optic (Aimpoint) and light (Streamlight) than the rest of the gun and I'm not worried about a scratch here and there. Anyhow... pig gave us real nice set of loin / backstrap, #60 of sausage, neck roast, and nice rack of ribs. We made 30# of Italian sausage and #30 (LEM Backwoods sausage kit/mix) the inside cutlet's we had to cook the night after, and all I can say is "wish they were bigger"...so tender. I used Hornady 55gr soft point ammo...hit that pig right in the eye...pig was facing me when I pulled the trigger. When I hit him, the impact spun him around and folded him up right in the spot he was standing at. We have a "few" more running around....those bump feeders did the job (got them in)....now it's time to switch to timers....otherwise they will kill us in corn. As you all know pigs set up camp on those bumpers. In 3 day's I rough counted 33 piglet's...and 10 adults. 3 sows with piglet's....one "sister"...the rest Boar. Lot of pigs there...that's for sure. 
One game cam pic from Feb, and one of the AR with the new light.

Last hog hunting trip we stumbled across this and had to wait until things settled down (a few boars were fighting out of the picture)
http://www.mdshooters.com/gallery/files/3/7/6/5/dsc03865-1.jpg About 5 minutes after I took the picture above I got this hog (wasn't the one having fun in the picture): http://www.mdshooters.com/gallery/files/3/7/6/5/dsc03922-1.jpg And my buddy got this one right after as well : http://www.mdshooters.com/gallery/files/3/7/6/5/dsc03900-1.jpg |

that's about 2 days worth. The lot of em is split between me and my buddies. It's more about hanging out really so we could have had more I'm sure.

I think sometimes, it's camera lighting, but mostly it's seasonal since the average temperature in South Texas so far this summer is 347°F. The excess hair just singes off. It makes the pigs a tad easier to locate –– you just look for the smoke trails.

The sun will stand still between Gaza and Rafah
The moon will whiten the peak of the Hermon
Flowers in the barrel and girls in the turret
Will return to the city the soldiers in mass

Wow, that's a lot of sammiches right there. Hmmm...hiding your face...I'm guessing so that other hogs don't see your face on here and ruin your ability to go undercover hunting again?
Man I want to hunt me some hogs sooooo bad! |
