Finally shot a hog...
|
I stayed at my son's house one more day and we went out this morning... We weren't even there 30 minutes and I got a hog...
It was 80 yards staring right at me... I fired and hit him right between the eyes... I laying prone on the bipod... Sorry about the crappie pictures the lighting wasn't great...

Way to go. Nice shot even at that range. Between the eyes is hard to do, at least for me. Seems like I drift right or left. I bet it pleased your Son to take Mom hunting!

Congrats Diane! A TTSX between the peepers will do it every time.
Now, the smoking and grilling starts!

The cool part of being able to hunt this area is my son lives 15 or 20 minutes from it...

DianeB,
were you able to do any Necropsy to see what the 120gr. TTSX did internally? were you able to recover the TTSX? curious, -tdbru p.s. nice shooting. Hope you get some more while your there.

I would say either did not expand or could have expanded fully, shed petals inside the head and just that shank of the bullet exited. Hard to know without either checking with metal detector, or dissecting the head with out the bullet to look at |
