Classic set up, post deer season. Since there's no season or limit on those little buggers, get back out there and cap him. Hogs are a blast and danged tasty. You'll getcha' one eventually and probably see many more of its relatives. Good luck. I'm envious.kd5zex wrote:I am a little ashamed to make this post post but here goes...
We went to our little ranch for a final hunt and to close up the joint for the year. We went for an "informal" hunting expedition, and low and behold I had two pigs come our at about 1740. Long story short, I picked the calico pig, his buddy was a red, and completely missed the bugger. I think I closed my eyes just as the shot broke and missed him high and to the left. I determined this after a through investigation of the scene where I found a large hole in the ground accompanied by several lead stained rocks.
In seventeen seasons of hunting this is the first animal I have missed and I am a little down on myself but I am chalking it up to experience and now me and piggy have a date for later on this year. Below are the pics from the game camera.

Add 9 years, a day and 13 hours to the dates on the pic.
