This morning I guided Terry and Jon on a pig hunt. We met in the morning got the paperwork done, jumped into the ranger, and headed out. We started out in the lower brush country and as we rounded the corner we came up on a 250 pound boar that had absolutely no idea what was about to happen. Jon hopped out of the ranger, settled his cross hairs and let his .280 sing! The first shot missed and as the boar quartered away from us so did the second! Before he could get back on the boar he hit the brush and was not to be seen again. We loaded back up in the ranger and went back on the hunt. As we started our search again we moved into a different are on the ranch and soon we spotted another group. This time Terry jumped out, got a rest, and put the smack down on a 125 pound sow. The rest of the herd scattered and we couldn't find another shot for Jon. By this time it was getting late so we went back down to the barn for a quick photo shoot and then got the pig skinned and headed for the walk in. It was a great day on the ranch and it looks as if the pigs are starting to come back after the fire!
