This property is adjacent to ours and the guy that leases ours (for cattle) also leases it. He gave me permission to hunt it, and I doubt it has been hunted in the last 20 years. The property feeds pigs into ours so I know it is loaded. Heavily wooded with mesquite, oak and cedar trees with some open spaces with tall grass, creeks, etc. No roads or trails, I just followed the muddy pig trails deep into the property. Came across one with its head down, maybe 30 feet, waited till I could get a side neck shot and dropped him. A few more scattered, one stopped about 20 feet further up the trail and I dropped him.(2 shots). Came across a few more and I hurried my shot and missed. (3 shots). Headed back and saw a young one and knew there were more. I stopped the pig saw my movement ran and spooked all the others away. This one ran under a cedar tree about 25 feet away, I could make out his silhouette so I shot. I heard a instant scream and one came out of the tree wounded but the screaming remained under the tree. Had no idea there were two pigs under the tree. (4 shots) I was kneeling down on the last shot and started getting a severe hamstring cramp, I said f it, if I move I will miss the shot, so I just took the pain..........
