Michelle ,Leanna {my oldest daughter } and I went hunting today as I was loading the other gear Leanna was supposed to get my .243 ,about 4 miles down the road she said she had forgotten it. It was already too late to go back and I had the kids New England youth model .223 in the back of the truck so I decided to hunt with it.Michelle dropped me of at a sunflower patch to still hunt.I had traveled about a mile when I saw hogs weaving through the weeds towards me,I let the first two get close because there was a cow standing behind them.I saw a bigger hog coming and found a small opening in the weeds about 70 yards out, as soon as he entered the gap I squeezed the trigger on the little .223 the hog dropped, I quickly reloaded {NEF are single shot} got on a small hog and dropped it as well.I stood there quietly after reloading again to see if any more hogs would pass in range. A group of small pigs circled back around and ran right up to the boar as soon as two lined up I knelt down and fired hitting the first one in the head,thinking I hadn't got the seconds one.I could no longer hear any hogs close by and went to examine my kills when I noticed a good blood trail leaving the scene I followed it about 20 yards and found the second pig ,having hit him low in the chest,he no longer had a heart! I'll be having the three little pigs for dinner tomorrow! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.thejump.net/gallery2/d/9523-1/me+200+pound+boar+11-28-06.jpg) 2 pigs with 1 shot ! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.thejump.net/gallery2/d/9526-1/me+2+pigs+1+shot+11-28-06.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.thejump.net/gallery2/d/9529-1/me+4+hogs+11-28-06.jpg)

You sure have been tough on the hogs this year. Bet the little ones are tasty too.

guess, with your combination of skill and luck, the hogs in your area are going to suffer mightily. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Even when you forget something, the hogs come out on the short end...

What bullets in the little 223? Looks like it did the job!
Do I understand correctly that you killed two little ones with one shot, or did I miss one shot somewhere? Regardless, nice job and thanks for posting!

That's a good ratio - nice to see two hogs become good hogs when something goes boom. I bet you could kill 3 or 4 a shot with my Montana 300 Wizzum... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Happy hunting, Glenn.

keep it up. by DNR estimates you only have 1,999,996 to go.
Half-minute accuracy, while pleasant to observe, is in no way superior to one-minute accuracy in any serious rifle.
