Feeder follies

[canamrider07]

At one of my feeders, I have two with game cams, there were 4 pigs coming in around 5:30 pm each night. I sat one night and they came in about 50 yards above the feeder and then down. I lost light and fired a shot, might have hit one but they ran off. I now see only 3 of them on the game cam. Anyway I went back a week later and setup higher up to get them when they came in. As soon as I get under my cedar tree 2 different hogs come in, back down at the feeder. I try to sneak back down where I can get a shot. The ground was flooded the sun was in my eyes every shot was blocked by a tree branch. I ended up with a weak shot and missed. When I got the game cam pics I see that they came in around 4:08 when I was setting up, left and came back around 5:11. Good looking hogs. I'll get them....You can watch the time line, the feeder also went off.

Big freakin’ swine....Sure you don’t want to bump up cal. from the 223/556?

He will drop in his tracks when I hit him with the "mini".

Boar's are much harder to find and shoot. They usually run as soon as they sense any danger.

Where do you aim with the 223/556? The neck?

 

[canamrider07]

You can see in the two pictures where I aim. If you hit this spot or pretty close it will break their spine, they usually will hit the ground in their tracks. But I am usually 40 yards or less. I use a 1x4 scope. I watched this video before I started hunting pigs:

In this picture I hit this big sow, as she was walking, a little further back than where I wanted to, she ran 20 yards or so after the shot.
