Hi @Rushy yeah I am not sure what the go is with this mother pig because no matter how I try to approach and from what dirrection or distance this bloody pig seems to get onto me and it has a habbit of looking right at me.

First night I saw this thing it was 180 meters away and I was in behind a cmmo net, I waited until she had her back to me before I moved to take a shot but she instantly turned and looked right at me so I kept still believing she woulding be able to see me and that hearing and smell would be her only good sensers yet off she went.

Last time out 200 meters away and she was out in the paddock, I stayed still behind cammo net this time from another dirrection with a side wind but she ran through the fence before turning to face me peering through long grass then called her young but now oldish young to come and off she went.

After this last hunt where she seemed to be looking right at me 750 meters away I am starting to think this pig is something out of the ordinary.

I will say the wind was up my arse at the time the pig was looking my way but I had hoped being that far may have been ok while I crossed the wind to get to my spot.

I guess it is possible the pig winded me and was just looking in my direction and couldn't see me however it always seems to be looking right at me and with it huge size make a man feel a bit uneasy.
