Swine

Targets of opportunity.

Black one lost his lungs and still ran 100 yards...

Brown one was the unfortunate victim of me growing up knowing how to shoot at game running as fast as it can run through the woods...lol

I almost got me a third one but the mountain laurel saved him before I could take up the slack...

Both good sized hogs.

I have been in the south for the last week. All the talk has been about how bad the pigs have gotten here. Lots of people killing them on the limited public land here.

Congrats on your harvest, hope they are good eating!

I'll be honest. The hogs are bad in Georgia. Not only are they bad but they are extremely hard to kill. Very smart and very nocturnal.
I know it sounds silly to say that about a hog but I promise you they have the wits of a big buck. They travel in groups and hide in the nastiest of places that make stalking them extremely difficult.

They are destroying the forests in North Georgia. I kill every one I can but it is really putting the screws to my deer hunting by blazing with the 30-06....

I have lived in Georgia for a little over a year and I have killed 7. If I could have done it over I would have killed 2X that many. I didn't realize how badly they affected my deer hunting until this year. The hogs move in the deer move out. Its that simple. Your really have to look at them like rats as sad as that is to say....the reproduction rates of wild hogs is dumbfounding..

Got one on game camera at night. Hard to be sure, it was dark. This is a first for my deer hunting area. Trapping is about the only thing that works.
