I was fortunate enough to be able to drop this young boar two days ago on Chattahoochee WMA here in the NE GA mountains. I haven't been hog hunting much this year because of other obligations, but I went out to scout three days ago and found some good sign. I decided to jump on it, and went back the next night with the .308.
The hogs came into the field at 6:02 p.m., and they came into the field where I was watching two does feed. The does didn't see the hogs, and the hogs didn't see the does because of the hump in the middle of the field between them. I saw the hogs coming through the trees, so I ran the does off, and began an open field stalk towards the hogs. It was well after 6:00 and I was losing light fast, so I moved quickly. I closed the distance from +- 250 yards to +- 100 yards. I sat down in the open field, and leaned back against my big pack, and rested off the knee. My first shot dropped the hog in its tracks, but I closed the distance anyway since the hog was still kicking and I put another round through the top of the skull to end the ordeal. This was a young boar. Cutters only maybe nearly an inch. He was multi-colored. That is a trophy to me because all I can ever seem to shoot up here is black hogs. I have been wanting a colored mountain hog for the last couple years now, and finally got one. It was a great day to be able to cut another of one of these wild rats out of the herd. I hope you guys are coming up here and putting in the legwork to help us remove more hogs. Most hunters sit and mope and cry when deer season is over, and they eat junk food and wait for the Super Bowl. They don't understand that big game opportunities are still out there for the next two months. They act like big game season is over. Stop crying, and get out there and start killing pigs. We need more real pig killers up here in the mountains, and sadly, there are almost none. If you complain about mountain deer and turkey hunting being slow, you had better be putting your money where your mouth is, and had better be up here in the hills killing pigs!!! I wish you all happy hunting for the remainder of the season!!!
