Wild hog hunt

I hunted with a guide for about 6 hours and stalked 3 groups of hogs but they ran off through the forest without providing a good shot. After lunch we lucked out and spotted this sow sleeping in a shallow pit. I spotted it first with my Bushnell 10X binoculars. All I could see were her shoulders and head. I stalked within about 70 yards by keeping a large tree between me and the hog. When I reached the tree, I checked to see my scope setting was on 4X, steadied my rifle, and shot this animal through the head. It never knew what happened, a clean kill shot. 30-30 is a keeper!

Florida has an abundance of wild hogs which can be hunted in many areas. This hunt took place along the Suwannee River in north Florida.
