Please see the video I made out of last Sat hunting trip with Jon. Thanks to Jon did a great job as an observer / photographer / videographer.

What we experienced was very overwhelming and different from what I expected. Based on what I read on its website, I thought hunting dog would be released to chase out the wild boar and corner it into an easier still game.

No, this didn't occur. Everything just happened so quickly from spotting the games to taking them down:

Jon yelled "10-12 O'clock, in front you". Then I saw black spots, 2 wild boars were running at 90 degree to our direction, on and off from view alone a fence.

Distance was 120 meters or so , wind was blowing from front left. Should I wait to drive closer? I haven't shoot any still target beyond 100 yards (91 meters), plus they were running across from left to right.

Negative, one Cattle was at front right. If I wait, wild boars would be too close to that cattle and I wouldn't have a clean shot.

Was the scope zeroed good enough? I regretted I should re-verify it before this trip, too late now. Dial scope range to 100-200 meters.

Just then, our guide Javier stopped the big-wheel buggy and shouted "Go, Liu, go for the big one…."

I shouldered the rifle and looked thru the scope. What I learned in Skeet & Trap sports came to my mind - swing, lead the target, squeeze and follow through. Yes, lead the game, lead the game and follow thru………

Everything became slow motions, I aimed ahead of big wild boar, followed and led it for a second, squeeze a round. I felt the recoil but didn't hear anything including the shouting and yelling from Jon and Javier later found in video. The world seemed mute and blank to me at the moment.

Didn't see any dust pop up and boar was still running. Missing it? Aim, lead, squeeze. Re-aim, lead, squeeze, squeeze. Suddenly, big wild boar dropped down. Was it hit? Not sure, don't want to take my chance to see it run again. I squeezed a couple rounds to end its misery.

"You got it, you got it" Jon and Javier shouted in excitement, my hearing was back and time became normal pace again. Don't remember other things Jon and Javier said…….. It's been a long long 10 - 15 seconds between spotting the boars and ceasing fire. It felt like a hour passed by.

When we drove closer to retrieve the downed boar (120-130 Lbs). Jon shouted "the little boar was wounded, yeah, it's wounded….."

What?!

Many questions and explanations rushed into my mind. How could that happened? I never noticed the young boar in the scope when firing. Where was it coming from?

"It might be hit by a bullet passing thru the big boar" said Javier, "it's dying and finish it off."

What a lucky and amazing shot!

In this case, one shot 2 boars. Great, I would be charged for 2 boars now. How could I explain over-budget hunting to my wife? Sounds like a makeup story.

I jumped off the buggy with monopod in case the wounded young boar (60-70 lbs) charged on me. I drew the Beretta 9mm and loaded it. Just tried to end its pain as quick as possible. It might take a while for it to bleed out. While I was walking toward the dying young boar, it got up and ran away. Then, it's I who was charging the boar.

I was after the running away boar but it ran fast. I decided to stop chasing, paused and fired at poor boar. Dust popped up from ground, missed the first shot. I raised my eyes to focus on front sight, Bang! It went down.

Jon and Javier were cheering on this second lucky shot. Using pistol to hit a moving animal in reality is not that easy as what TV and movie portray. Jon came by and finished young boar off with his Kimber.

In the end, we were not charged for the young wild boar, which 3rd lucky things happened that day. Thanks a lot to our guide Javier's hospitality. Big wild boar were butchered, pork shoulders, ribs and sirloins were taken home.

Most important of all, we had safe trip, no any accident, safety compromise or hairy moment.
