Went hunting ducks and deer out on the Pecos River out of Orla a few days ago. Grabbed the shotgun and walked down a few upper banks to get to the river and walked upon a sounder of hogs. Went around them downwind and found no birds there. Went back to truck and grabbed the 22mag as I'm getting low on my 6 year old box of Hornaday 270 WSM and snuck back down River against the wind. Luckily the mag was topped out as i.would soon run out of bullets.
Shot the first couple in the head but a big boar got up after falling and headed across the river and up the far bank with me pumping lead. Finally hit him good as he topped the far bank and he rolled down into the salt cedars. Took several more shots to Finally roll dinner down the bank on my side of the creek.
