A letter from a grandson on his first hog kill Back To Article List


      DAY 1- We got to Perry Georgia just waiting for some action in the stands so we got dressed in all of our warm clothes really fast so we could go hunting. Once we were done getting dressed we had to try out the Rifles Daddon got us. They were both 243's but I made a mistake choosing the longest gun. So when we got to the stand we waited for about an hour then we saw a Doe, but it was to young to shoot. About thirty minutes later an then I was dying to shoot a Hog then all of a sudden three hogs came out from in the woods. So Daddon said do you want to shoot a hog and I said yes. So I got in Daddon's lap while he held the gun in Daddon's shoulder and I got ready to shoot. While I was about to pull the trigger I jerked away from the gun and pulled the trigger and missed I was very upset. While I missed the hog there was another gun shot and It sounded like my dad. So we got out of the stand going towards my dads stand thinking that he shot something. When we got in my dads field we saw Winston and my dad looking in the woods. when we got out of the car my dad said he shot a Doe so we found a blood trail then we found the deer. So we had to drive it to the processor.

       DAY 2- I woke up that morning still thinking about that hog I missed but then I thought its a new day and maybe we will get another hog. The only thing different was that was going hunting with my dad. when we got to the stand it was really cold but I tried to hang in there. we hadent seen even a bird and Winston and I were getting cold so I got in my dads lap to warm up while Winston got out of the stand with Daddon to look around. while Winston and Daddon were looking they saw a hog running across the field and Daddon took a shot at the Hog and it dropped like a fly so we drove the car over there to pick up the hog. Later our friend Mason was hunting with his grandpa and his dad Mason shot a hog also but instead of us having to pick up the hog Mason's grandpa has a truck so he just put the hog in the truck and drove it to the house. while we were all at the house we  were skining the hogs to eat. later when it got warmer outside we went back to the fields axcept I was with Daddon. when we got to the stand we waited about 30 minutes and we heard two gunshots and then we heard my dad on the wlkie talkie say that we have a problem and we drove to there stand and I saw winston with a cut on his nose and my dad said that the scope kicked back and hit his nose so my dad took winston home while me and Daddon continued to hunt. So we waited in the stand for some action and then we saw two hogs walk out from the woods and I got prepared to shoot. I got in Daddons lap an got ready to shoot so I turned the safety off and pulled the trigger then I saw a hog fall to the ground an then I relized that I shot a hog I was so happy. We got out of the stands and walked over to the the hog and I shot it perfectly in the tummy and that was my first kill.
