Second floor shooter

 Larry, my best friend from high school and 9th Infantry Division veteran 1967, sent an email and a photograph of a wild hog he shot last night from a second-floor window of his house. The boar weighed probably 200 pounds. I couldn't get the copy and paste to work, or I would have posted the picture. Larry and his wife live in Northeast Texas. I don't know anybody else who ever shot a wild hog from his second-floor window. In my reply, I said I hoped he carried a .45 or two when he went to the woods. Larry said he always carries a .357 Magnum when he goes to the barn and a.30-30 when he's in the woods. He estimates there are more than a dozen hogs in his woods. They have rooted up a big area around his barn, he said. Larry and his wife don't have a garden area, but they do have cattle feed and horse feed in the barn. I would say 14-16 is a manageable number if Larry gets to work with friends and family and shoots them all. But wild hogs are unpredictable. Except in tearing stuff up. They're very good at that.
