Friday late evening I decided to leave the city behind a bit and hit one of my favorite public land hunting spots.... So I called my big brother and some of my best friends and their father to come alone for this trip and off we went... Saturday came by with little animal movement.... We saw plenty herds of elk and quite a few amount of deer in area but no pigs were being seen... I was disappointed at first because I atleast see a pig even if I don't have an opportunity to shoot one... But hunting is hunting right? Sometimes we get what we want and sometimes we don't so I kicked back even though I put a lot of effort by covering ground on foot and by my truck.... Still no luck... Sunday morning came and it seems to me it was going to be cooler and a little fog settled in... Now in the back of my head I knew if we were to find some pigs it would definitely be on Sunday.... Around 9 or 10 I believe while driving my brother spotted a pig and this time I didn't want to miss the opportunity and it was on the run along side the dirt road so I got out of the vehicle and went towards the side by the little dried up river bed that was about 5 feet across and 4 feet deep which was where the pig was and using that river bed to not be seen.... Can't escape the eyes of my Leopold so I let one rip and down she goes 7 Mag Winchester Model 70 bullet was Nosler E-tip 150 grain reload just pure madness and deadly..... With no hesitation all one of the easiest shots I've taken just over 200 yards while running... Not bad I thought to myself then immediately I filled out my tag... gutted her and straight to the back of my truck bed and off we go home... The End............ Lesson learned never I mean NEVER give up!
