Wolfdog, an old dog can learn new tricks, or at least give it a try, lol. Just picked up a Ruger American Go Wild in .243 that’s going to be my new “dedicated” coyote rifle. Going to move the iRay and suppressor off the Predator to this new gun.
Les, the SFAR is in .308 and it is suppressed also. Both suppressors are Banish 30’s.
As far as making someone’s “reels” or clips I hope they give me credit and royalties. In case you haven’t picked up on my previous posts, I really don’t care what the anti’s think. I live in a pretty good State when it comes to hunters and their rights. Wild hogs, coyotes, beaver, coons, and possums are fair game year round on private properties down here.
Believe it or not, the stalk in, and the first shot was thought out well before squeezing the trigger. I intentionally didn’t shoot the boar to drop him. I figured he’d run the direction he was facing and hopefully squeal. I knew if he did that the others would run and stop trying to figure out what happened and I’d get multiple opportunities based on their age class. What you don’t realize is I’d been there standing for over 15 minutes. All the pigs were at one point laying in the feed trail with the boar feeding by himself. The sow refused to get back up and I was worried about the wind switching so I waited until the boar turned…finally. All you see is the shots, you have no clue of the thought process. And yes, if I can get a pig squealing before dying the others have no clue what to do. Been killing pigs a while now and you pick up on certain things from killing over a period of time.
And for the record, not much that I shoot falls dead and still. I can tell you don’t hunt much or shoot much if you think that’s what happens. Yes the one hog was about to get another bullet, but he laid his head down and I knew it was over. Hope y’all never butcher chickens by chopping their heads off cause they’ll flop for a while…but they’re dead and just don’t know it.
