Double Naught Spy Wrote:What is a trophy sow? Usually, we think size, but this one was only about 170 lbs. So what made it a trophy sow? It was carrying a whopping FOURTEEN fetuses onboard. My partner, Ben, shot it. In 15 years of hog hunting, the most I have seen in a sow was 13 and generally speaking, double digit litters aren't real common with feral hogs in my experience. I may have had 6 or 7 over the years that managed to have 10 or more onboard. The sow I later shot had 6 onboard, which is more typical.
We may only slayed 3 hogs directly, but managed to take out 20 more from the next generation in the process (which just tickles me). Ben certainly picked a winner.
There should be video, later. I don't think it will be as exciting as Ben's 14 onboard.
I was shooting Power Hammer 92 gr bullets and Ben was shooting Northern Precision Spitzer RBT Bonded 95 gr bullets loaded by Druid Hill Armory.
