and I got one also, right in the brain. Here is mine:
130 pounds. I had just sprayed her down to cool it off, prior to a friend coming over to pick her up and butcher it for his family. She's now been picked up for butchering.
Chaps shot his hog right in the shoulder and through the lungs where he was aiming. Hopefully he'll take and post a pic of his. There was a sounder of 19. We stalked them in the dark, checking every few seconds to make sure they hadn't moved away. Chaps did the countdown, and we both fired at the same time. It felt like forever before the countdown started. It turned out that the initial hog he was going to shoot moved, so he had to pick another big one, thus the countdown delay. Meanwhile, the one I was aiming at turned facing me, so I did the brain shot instead of neck shot. The estimated distance from the hogs when we shot was 80yd.
More of the story...Chaps and I were walking closer to 3 probable deer, to make sure they were deer prior to quitting for the night. Meanwhile, Sawman had spotted the sounder to the right of the deer. It was thought that Sawman was kidding when he said there were a lot of hogs until we swung our night vision and thermal to the right and were shocked by what we saw. Sawman had no idea we didn't know about the hogs when he did. The hogs did cooperate by slowing moving closer as we stalked them.
Chaps used his 5.56 AR with my handloads of Sierra 65gr Gameking bullets. I used a 300 Blackout SBR suppressed with Nosler 125gr Ballistic Tip bullets.
