Title: First Russian Hog

 I went on a hunt with MBH and shot my first hog. I stalked within 15yds and made a nice quarter away shot to the lungs after several attempts. Checkmate Hunter II 53@28 with ACE 160's and 55/60 chundoos.

There are some running around that I've heard of. I went to a ranch to get mine, but let me tell ya it wasn't easy. They had 700 acres to roam on and they knew what was up. It took me quite a few tries to get in range. This one was popping it's jaws at me, and came running my way once. I love that stuff!!

Thanks all. I'm not sure what it weighed, I wish they had a scale. The guy who owns the place said it would weigh around that. Sure felt like it! LOL!
 I traded off the Serengeti a while ago, although it would have done the job quite well.  :archer:
