Good shooting Jeff. Nice, young one, too bad it  did the self-burial.

The XL already has a g-hog under it's belt    

I decided to use the .22 Disco on these g-hogs  

Hope to be posting some pics tomorrow.....

SUcks you didnt get your trophy, I alway look forward to peoples trophy pics and stories. Better luck with the big one.

Sorry he got away Jeff! that happened to Harry too!

[longislandhunter]

Well, I still have to other g-hog to get.  When I get a shot at him I'll make sure he's a decent distance from the hole.....
 
BTW..... I spoke to my next door neighbor a little while ago and he said he's got a couple of g-hogs under his 2 sheds as well, he's seen them a few times in the afternoons.  He's got his Hammerli Titan .177 within reach inside the house and is just waiting to get a shot himself....

Great shooting Jeff and I'm sure you nailed him, fertilizer now. Ed

Well, now what are ya gonna do about the smell in the shed? It may be a good idea to try and get em out. Have you ever thought of getting a dachound?(spelling)

[only1harry]

Wow, I hope it doesn't smell your yard up.  Maybe you will get lucky and have another G-hog down there which will push the dead out onto the surface.  I had that happen once.  I was pleasantly surprised the next morning when I saw the one I had shot laying there dead a few inches from the burrow.  I don't think I ever got to than the G-hog that pushed the dead out because I think i shot him a couple of days later

Hey it happens.  You should have used the Condor  just kidding!  Good shooting nevertheless. Sometimes they get knocked out unconcious and then come to, and they 're gone.  This is why I love G-hog hunting.  It's very challenging.

[longislandhunter]

I haven't noticed any odor yet, but then again enough time hasn't passed yet.  Late this afternoon I did notice a lot of flies buzzing around the base of the shed right near where he was when I shot him.  The entrance to the burrow is pretty far under the shed so there's no way for me to have any access to it, so if there's an odor I'm just going to have to live with it until it subsides.  I'm hoping the odor won't be to bad but I guess time will tell.  

AS for using the Condor...... I really don't like to use the Condor in the yard, it's just to powerful.  I may however break out the .22 Talon and use her  for the remaining g-hog

It sounds like you really didn't need more power and shot placement was good. It is hard to beat DRT. Coulda been that when the muscles relaxed he just slid under.

Can't wait to go back south!!! less than one month i'l be back home!
