Today I guided Justin Hariz on a pig hunt. We met at 5:00 AM and headed to the ranch to see what the morning would bring. We left the parking lot and headed into the first big canyon stopping to glass along the way. We had just crested the ridge and started into the next canyon when I spotted a lone boar making his way towards us. We threw a quick plan together and headed down the ridge on foot to try and intercept the boar. We got in place and ready to shoot just as the boar rounded the corner. I quickly ranged the boar at 225 yards and Justin took his shot. He hit the boar square in the shoulder and he crumpled. The boar ended up being 225 pounds with 2.5 inch cutters. This was Justin's first big game kill and the head is at the taxidermist, so he will always be able to remember the hunt.
