    Couple of looks in new areas produce the goods

    Pengy and myself have been on a couple of missions lately looking for new spots and getting of the couch to see if they hold any animals.
    Couple weeks ago we hunted in a snow storm and nearly got a good boar as fresh marks in the snow showed we were minutes behind it at worst.













    Today as i was bored after the morning rain i rang Pengy of the forum here and asked him if he wanted to go for a drive at a new spot i was told was worth a look.
    Anyway, long story short after about a short 20 min walk(took way longer on way in as mucking around looking etc like you do i spy a pig across the gully on a face.
    Missed the first shot as it went a little high .
    The boar went right but i thought it went higher as i saw a pig above where he was so i lined that one up and ended up with a nice eating sow.
    The 150sst did its job and i went and collected the pig with the help of Pengy dog who found it in short order.
    Not bad for a short drive

    Good stuff. You could have strapped the pig to Pengy's back and let him slide out of the bush on his nelly like Penguins do. In fact you could have jumped on as well and used him like a sled.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
