Glassed up a group of pigs still lingering in the fields just after daylight. They were working a tree line about 1200 yds from where I parked the truck. I waded through what seemed like 10 miles of waist tall, wet grass to close the gap on them. With the wind at my back, I made it up the last rise and where I thought they would be, they were not. Figured theyd winded me. After a few minutes I caught movement and they had moved off to my left probably 150 yds. A group of roughly 15 pigs. I settled on the smaller brown boar, sent the first 250 NPT through both front shoulders, abruptly dumping him in the tall grass. The group scattered across the hillside, and I saw what I thought to be the largest pig of the group running directly away from me. Sent the next 250 into the base of the tail and exited just under the chin. She tumbled to a stop and never kicked. First shot was 147, the second was 205. Rifle is a 700 BDL in .338WM 250 NPT at 2700.
