This unexpected guest showed up during a deer hunt this Saturday morning. I was sitting on the ground in some cedar trees with a ghillie suit and this guy walked past me at 5 yards. A whole new perspective at ground level and had me wishing I had my iron sight backup pistol in my lap and not in the holster on my belt. Shot him at 30 yards with my SBH 44 with a 240 XTP

Wow! That's always a pleasant surprise, congrats!
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Shaggy guy, almost looks like a bear! Congratulations! I would imagine he would be a bit intimidating if you were sitting on the ground.

That's awesome. I'm glad we don't have hogs here (ag area) but I wish we had hogs here!?! That's a heck of a lot better target of opportunity than a coon or similar.

If it were supposed to be easy, they'd have sent my little sister to do it.
