Sharpshooter
So after supper that evening a guide approaches us in a jeep and says "you ready?"
"ready for what"
him: "Your trophy hunt"
We had paid for a trophy hunt package, I tell him that I still hadn't sighted in my gun and would really like to, Its about 6:00 pm not a lot of day light and I dont want to do this hunt in the dark!
He lets me use his 7mm mag garantees its dead on. Ok if you garantee it.
They take me and my buddy out to a spot where the pigs were last seen ( and I really believe they had gps trackers on them as they were using there iphones to find them)
There it is and its BIG my buddy is first, he shoots and the big hog drops like a ton of bricks! His 7mm mag done its job. As we approach BAM just like it was startled from a deep sleep its back up and coming this way, SHOOT IT! Two more shots and its finished, we gather around and our guide toutches it on the eyeball to make sure its dead, it takes its last breath at that moment! The guide thought he had his last breath, he jumped and yelled it was the funniest moment of the whole trip! But none the less the pig was dead!
Ok daylight is dwindling and I gotta get my trophy, we'll come back for this later.
Ok there it is 70 yards out behind some trees, I circle around to about 40 yards to get a shot, put the rifle on my shooting stick, cross hairs on its neck squeeze. The first thing I get is a loud ringing in my left ear and I'm nearly deaf. The gun had a compensator on it and it was literally deafening. Luckily the pig is down, its kicking, flailing, squaling, trying to get up, but with the pain I have in my left ear I din't want to pull the trigger again, so what do I do? Maybe not the smartest thing in the world but I aint pulling that trigger and I sure aint about to let him get away. I run up on him pull out my Ontario Spec Plus Marine and stab him right in the heart! Yes this was a RUSH! I sliced downward pulled out the knife, his heart pumped about twice and it was over.
530 pounds!
If not for the climactic finish I would have cancelled the payment on my cc
