Got a note from Jon Bryan, over at Outdoor Odyssey blog this morning, to let me know about a story he’d just posted regarding hog hunting and such. Little did I know I’d expect a story right out of Africa…even if it was actually Abilene.
It seems they were out chasing quail, when all of a sudden the chaser was the chased, so to speak.
In his own words…
The next thing I know, here comes Rooster fast and right behind him a really big Hog, two hundred and fifty pounds or more! Rooster is heading my way with the Hog in hot pursuit. What to do? No trees to climb. I can’t out run the Hog. Shoot him with my trusty, twenty gauge, Skeet Grade, Remington 870, loaded with number eight shot? Since Hogs have a thick, muscle like covering, over their shoulders and head, bird shot wouldn’t faze him, and my trusty twenty- two magnum, Ruger Single Six, was back in the truck.
Read the story yourself, to find out how this came to be, and how it turned out.
Thanks for the plug! I didn’t expect to see such a nice comment!
