Title: First hog....
Post by: Eric on April 13, 2010, 11:48:57 am
... with a pistol and garmin. ;D

Been practicing with my .357 Ruger since the beginning of the year and got a Garmin last week so I was ready to try both of them out . Hunted Sunday evening and ran a boar right at a mile down the river before it finally crossed. Ended up calling the dog back because it got dark and I was by myself.

Went this morning at sunrise and bayed this boar in a little thicket about 7:45. From where the dogs jumped off to where they bayed was a hair over 300yds. Slipped in a got a shot from about 20yds. All I can say about the Garmin is wow... and I am sure the dogs appreciate it too. :)

Good lookin hog and dang nice red dog. I have to agree that the Garmin is one handy peice of equipment. Eric I have to stick with a knife considering my shooting skills, there would be alot of friendly fire ;D
