DING DING ROUND 3
I WENT BACK TONIGHT TO GET SOME PINECONES [YEA RIGHT]
GAVE THE DOG A GOOD RUN then took the 20 with some 3 inch 2,s to see if i could ambush piggy on a trail it had been using.
i knew inside 30 metres piggy would be in some serious shit little did i know it would be way closer.
with the wind blowing across they werent gonna smell or hear us and as we sat on a bank screened from hoggys sight by some scrubby pine rubbish .
soon things got interesting.
yes ando offered to leave his 270 but i says no thanks cos i hate the 270 ever since my unlce gave me a few shots as a 13year old and a short barrelled one sans its left at home suppressor did not fill me with glee.
sabby my lab collie christ knowswhat recruit on a lead does a low growl and i hear movement i think is a rabbit.
bed i hiss at him and go back to day dreaming 5 minutes later he stares in the light scrub and gives two low quick grrs.
i stand up look where he his and there 15 feet away is a large low to the ground fat tan and black spotted boar up comes remy but he,s arse on.
sab does another grr piggy turns and shows me the juncture of his head and neck i let rip and miss him cold.i should have held lower.
piggys feet get the speed wobbles in his haste to vacate the area,no blood no squealing and sab comes back after trailing him down the tunnel/track i discover im been sitting right on the edge of.
bugger doesnt quite do justice to how im feeling so f........k im gutted.
ive killed pigs before and with a shotgun before to but i cant believe i missed.
the only thing i can think of is i shot over his neck when i touched off the 3 incher.
yes with a rifle maybe i could have shot him in the chest but at fifteen feet it would have been messy as shit and what ever i should be hanging pork tonight shotty or not,

Does anyone have a bazooka they can lend this member? I want to see him succeed in this venture even if all he gets is enough mince for a couple of pork patties.
