[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3641783, member: 40561"] So about 9 years ago some friends and I went hog hunting one night. We had actually gone out a few times before with no sightings, but that night popped our cherries. This was the first hog all of us had spotted. There were 4 of us out there. My buddy "T" who is about 10 years older than I am, a mutual friend "J" whose grandparents owned the property, "T's" daughter "K", and myself. T and J were both on 5.56 AR's, K and myself on 12ga pump guns, hers with 00 buck and mine with slugs. So about 1am we finally have a sighting, we were basically 4 wide in an opening in the trees that goes to an open field and in the middle there was the piggie. I was froggy as hell and got on it pretty quick and blasted off a shot and down it goes. J is fumbling with his gun because nothing is happening when he pulls the trigger and T is kind of just hanging tight. Hog jumps back up. I pump and squeeze off another, down it goes again. J is still fumbling, K took a shot and missed...T still hanging tight. Hog gets up again. Repeat, I pumped and hit it a 3rd time, knock it down again then T hits it in the belly with the 5.56 while it's down. Come to find out, the slugs I was using werent effective at all on a pig at 75 yards. There were no signs of entry at all after 3 hits that knocked it down, and you can see the hit T made to finish the comedy of errors. Come to find out J was hunting on an empty chamber and K just wasnt ready for all the action after the first shots....and I never tried hog hunting with a 12ga again. We learned alot that night, mostly what not to do, but it was still fun. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1277392_644269822284917_1242521756_o.jpg"]224232[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
