I’m claiming victory. Do you think I should or not? Here’s the deal.

We have to go back to June 30 when I got the pumpkin eater and my story “Success – Or Dumb Luck”.
After I shot that one, I drove over to the second field to see if I could spot the other hog that the farmer says has been eating pumpkins there too. It was maybe twenty minutes at most when the hog in question shows up at the back of the field, about 175 yards from where I sitting in my truck. It’s around 7 in the evening. I put the crosshairs of the Savage on him and pull the trigger. He runs off. >

Now you know and I know that hogs run off all the time when shot. I will admit that I did not go check it out cause I’d have to trample some hay and probably some pumpkins, so I decided to bail. I should have fessed up to the “miss”, but didn’t. Just figured I’d get another chance at a later time.

Well I’ve been back several more times and set up on him/her at different times of the day and it’s been a no show each and every time, including this morning.

I say I got it and should claim victory. I’ll let you decide. ;D
