Hog #22 for 2020

pdk25 · August 31, 2020, 12:30:24 AM

Had a couple small ones come in just before dark. Shot was a touch over 15 yards, and the pig didn't go much further than that. Still got the Kelpie out for some work. Same TallTines Stickflinger and vpa 3 blades.

Keep trying Pat...soon you'll get this "hog hunting thing" figured out. LOL

Way to go again sir! You are a hog killing machine!

Thanks guys. It is sometimes a puzzle to figure out what they did after the release.

Quartering away, aiming on the low side in case it ducked. Head down feeding but still rolled away from me a touch. I have had this pattern of a higher exit wound a bunch of times.

Could they be rolling or spinning down and away?

pdk25 · September 01, 2020, 03:26:44 PM

I believe they are whirling and rolling more than ducking. Wish I had video of it.

Wudstix · September 01, 2020, 03:40:06 PM

That's what I was thinking spinning and rolling away. Personally I have never had a pig duck a shot.

pdk25 · September 01, 2020, 06:00:05 PM

I have seen them duck on video by a feeder, and have seen them just bolt out to the front.

Wudstix · September 01, 2020, 07:15:00 PM

My 90+ hogs have never ducked, missed one once cause I shot it like a deer anticipating drop.

pdk25 · September 01, 2020, 07:42:09 PM

LOL. My 200+ have done alot of different things.

pdk25 · September 01, 2020, 08:04:22 PM

They have little stubby legs, so they don't drop as far. This is a hog that did a little drop on a friend of mine, but I have seen worse.[attachment=1][attachment=2]

My experience is limited, only have two at feeders. Rest are spot and stalk.

pdk25 · September 01, 2020, 09:19:15 PM

Yeah, I probably have only shot 50 spot and stalk, so nowhere near the skillset of Robert Carter. Maybe another 40 or 50 sitting at feeders. The rest were stalking up at feeders after they were settled in feeding. I don't live in an area with big acreage for spot and stalk, so my hogs are ultra spooky from pressure. Maybe your limited experience by feeders is why you haven't noticed them ducking. Not sure.
