after 10 plus years of my old man trying to put one on the wall...
it finally happenend for him saturday morning:smiley_yahoo:i fly him out
every year for a summer hog hunt..for 1 reason or another..he brings the
{no big tusker mojo with him..every year!!} usually the day after he leaves we'll pound a trophy boar and so goes the vicious circle..
well it happenend for him this time and my job is complete!long story short..i hunt him friday night with nothing but average hogs being spotted
several in the 100 -200 pound range ..not what he comes for..
i wake his old bones up at 4am ..and we head out again..we are on point
at magic hour..as soon as it is light enough to see ..i spot a lone boar
making his way out of the field.. i look at dad and say.. ive found your
wall hanger..lets get it on!! he does not see it..but that is fine as im pretty sure i know where this old boy is heading.. i tell him to follow me
and as we get close i,ll set up the sticks and when i tell you to shoot
shoot and dont hesitate as this will be a 1 shot deal as this monster is headed for the thick cover..never to be seen again..we crest the ridge
and as i look down i see old stinky swaying threw the barley field
25 yds from the brush line.. i set up the sticks get the old man
kneeling down and lined up on the only opening before the brush
and whisper..he will come out in that opening and when he does..
smoke him... 3 seconds later..he emerges.. the old man exclaims holy @#$%... i whistle.. the trophy stops and turns.. as im getting ready to
give the word..the old man launches the 180 grain barnes out of the 308
norma magnum. at the report of the rifle..the monster collapes..
a perfect behind the ear head shot!!!{the only place to shoot monster hogs with copper!!} as we approach the trophy.. the realization of
what we had laying in front of us sets in.. the old man is speechless..
as look at him he is noticably shaken by the monster..i put my arm around him and tell him enjoy the moment pop's.. and he tells me , son..
ive enjoyed the moments for 41 years..{my age} anyways..
enjoy the money shots and as always we'll post um as we drop um...:toast-yellow::chainsaw:
