LONG STALK
A call from a farmer informed me of three large boars that were tearing up a clear field that was to be planted soon. The great thing about farmers is that they know their land well and he put me right on this hog down to the hour.
I spotted this hog at 534 yards just thirty minutes later than the landowner had spotted three just the morning before. A check of the wind and a strategy was formed to get me into a safe shooting direction as this lone boar tore holes in the farmer's field. A full moon slowed the process as I constantly was checking the direction the hog was facing. Any time the hog had his tail toward me I made fast time. As he fed toward me I would wait. The times on the video show a stalk over thirty minutes long and Hunt Stand shows a distance total of 585 yards to circle this boar and put one in him.
The shot was a little back but the sound of the hit made me not even chamber another round. As the hogs back legs began to bounce in the air as he ran I knew it wouldn't be long and I waited for the big flop. The damage in the field was bad and two more must be dealt with soon.
