A Few Pigs...
      #378736 - 18/08/23 11:41 PM

Not much Oz hunting posted lately, so here's a few pigs from last couple of trips.

This nice boar leapt from his bed beside the water and attempted to bolt but his escape was terminated by a 225gr Norma Oryx..



Good sized hog but still young so no tusks worth the taking unfortunately.

The next pic shows the aftermath of a good old-fashioned bomb-up by my hunting buddy Bart and me, ambushing the mob from the edge of the tree-line in the background. They were out in the open munching on the bones of something long-dead, and by targeting the farthest animal first, we were able to take advantage of the confusion!



Here they are dragged together for a posed shot.



The third member of our hunting party was situated in the perfect position to cut off any escapees, but only one pig made it to his gun. Too far away to drag over!
