Weekend Results Thread: Rifle Season Opener

Got my first pig this weekend and the first pig ever taken off our lease in Copiah County, Mississippi.


Hunted saturday morning with a sligghhtttt headache from staying up till 2am shooting fireball and drinking beers. Saw a big coyote at 7:00 at 250yds. He turned and trotted all the way to the foodplot at 80yds. I was holding the crosshairs on his head the whole time but was hoping for a broadside shot (guy at the camp wanted a cape). Well as I was squeezing the trigger he suddenly smelled something and bounced into the woods. No dead coyote


Saturday afternoon I got to the stand at 2:35. I was hunting in a cutover and my dad was hunting another stand just 350yds away to my back-left. I got to my stand and climbed in, my dad waited till I was set before he started walking in case he was to jump something on the way. So I sit down, put on my binoculars, answer a text, look up and boom, there is a pig in the food plot 130yds away in front of me. I quickly grab my rifle, zoom in the scope and BOOOOOMMMMM! piggy drops! I was stoked, I've been hoping for a pig for years but no one on the lease has ever seen them while hunting, just on cameras (for 3 years). I hear my phone vibrating, it's Dad, I answer "Bacon down!!" He was just as excited. He hadn't even made it to his stand which was a 5 minute walk




Sorry, Mom
