Thread: OK I almost shit myself

I went out for a hunt again tonight to the usual spot where I have been picking off a couple of pigs.

So I started heading to my spot, I had to take a wide birth as there was a screaming wind up my arse.

I was cutting across to my hunting spot and looked way up ahead to where the game normally is and way in the distance I see mother pig eyeballing me from like 750 plus meters away (shits shes a big bitch).

I tore off up the hill and down the fence line to where I park up then I took a look, nothing about so I seatled in.

An hour or so later a couple of yearling deer came running along the fence line but they wern't hanging around, with the wind swirling around and mostly coming from behind I decided to move on.

I walked for a few km's and through some high shrub which had me concerned because I know there are pigs about.

I come out of the long stuff now with spotlight attached and I walk across a field, as I get to the edge I see a clump of long thistles and I noticed the tallest one was moving quite a lot. I thought to myself there isn't that much wind but its moving too much for it to be a rabbit so it must be a pig.

I looked through the scope and I could just make out what looked to be a pig rooting around in the middle of this clump of stuff.

I waited and then I got a clear look at the pig so I lined up and I was just about ready to sqeeze off the shot when I heard a loud grunt to my right as loud as a deep throated V8, well I reckon I leapt 2 foot in the air and spun around to see pigs running to my right and to my left but not mum.

After regaining my composure I linned up one of the pigs to my right and dropped it on the run approx 8 meters away.

They were running flat tack, sqealing and onking as they went but I was mainly concerned mother pig could be waiting in the shadows ready to strike.

It was pitch black so I whipped the back legs off the pig I shot then got out of there. If I was to be honest I am shit scared of pigs especially in the dark.

Anyway mother pig out smarted me again but I did manage to pick off another one of the pack and a couple of nice wee roasts for my trouble so not a bad night out.
