My wife got a rifle 37b tag to hunt with her friend Heather. I was supposed to go with them, but grandma was unable to watch the kids so I stayed home on dad duty. My wife said they stumbled into the pigs as they got to the hill they needed to be at. The pigs didn't spook, just kind of walked off. They got in to position. I was texting my wife, giving her advice. She had said that they could hear them and smell them but couldn't see them. Next thing she texts me "piggie down, 180 yards!" The pigs made themselves visible while the girls were snacking. My wife got behind the AR15 and dropped the hammer! I'm so proud of her.... she might be a better pig hunter than I am! ![[Linked Image]](http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh250/firstcoueswas80/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG950728_zpsc22qdzhb.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh250/firstcoueswas80/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG950727_zpscejtasps.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh250/firstcoueswas80/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0731_zpsoqylk8j8.jpg)

Awesome. I always like it when the wife/gf shows enthusiasm and doesn't just "go along".
What's a 37b tag?

I (don't ) hate hunting with my wife. She keeps pulling chit off no real hunter deserves. My only problem is she is a workaholic...

My respects to the lady. Nicely done.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

She packed it out three miles on her own as well! I just got back from filling my tag. Of course she was rubbing in that I wasn't done by 10:30 in the morning, but I killed a bigger Pig and we killed two of them so I guess we'll call it a draw.

No, you win as you also managed to get a heck of a woman.

Congrats to your wife! Wish I could get mine to hunt, let alone go without me. Best I can do is get her to go along on the speed goat hunts in Wyoming.

Shoots 50 vmax, btips and zmax sub moa. Sub moa and then you need to learn to like that trigger instead...I'll take that over most others most days.. Javelina on your back? We'd have been drained of blood if we put one on our back here and walked 3 miles, fleas and ticks and lice would have drained us. Would have to burn the pack, rifle, clothes and all likely... ugh. Congrats!!! When you grow up and learn to like a good trigger let me know. LOL. Jeff

Yep we eat it just fine. Jeff, I like the 2 stage, kinda but prefer something with less take up. Like a crisp, 2# Timney.
