I didn't spend all this money recently upgrading my thermals to shoot coons and tlacuaches. Coyotes are worthy adversaries, but they don't show up consistently for me. I have to manage the swine heard wisely to ensure a target rich environment for myself and future generations.
I did take down one of the adults the other night and shot and missed the second adult while running off. I did let the piglets run off with Momma for the reasons enunciated above. Video evidence below. The pig I dropped in the video got up and ran off after being on the ground about 2 or 3 minutes. I was unable to place a running shot on him. My only thought is that I hit him in the head area with a non lethal round and it knocked him silly. There were no birds feasting in the area yesterday so it ran off somewhere. The pig family did show up on the game camera last night and only two adults were with the three juveniles, so that hog must be dead or laid up convalescing somewhere. Side note: Those are Nilgai in the background. Yes, I know I could shoot them at night, but they are like my pets now, so they get a pass.
