The bar I work at all of a sudden decided to close for the 4th, since I was supposed to work I had no plans, so I decided to get away from the crowds and go up the mountains for an unscheduled hunt.



My gear as I'm getting ready after driving up






I started hunting a few Gulches, this is the kind of terrain I was hunting






After a couple of hours and a few different Gulches I finally spotted a nice sow footing in a very moist area, after a short stalk to about 30-35 yards I got myself into position and she quickly gave me a shot so I let the EunJin fly.

Here is what the area looked like, all beat up.



the shot was true





I always wait 10 minutes or so before going to the downed Hog just in case there's something else around, as I approaced the Saw I spotted an other one down the Gulch,...."No Way !!!"
I little stalk and I was in a good position for a 40-45 yards shot, she was facing me so again I let the EunJin fly.





so I went to the 2nd sow, took a couple of quick pictures and started to drag her back to the other, once I got to her I noticed a mongoose crisscrossing the gulch about 50 yards away, now I'm like, "nawh, this never happens !!"

When we have a change to take the elusive Mongoose we try our best, so I got comfortable and started tracking her, back and forth she went, but she was slowly making it my way, at about 25 yards she paused just enough for the EunJin to fly again.

precise neck shot




Love this gun, withe the 43gr EunJin she's deadly, and today was one of those days I couldn't miss

To be 100% honest I'm still not comfortable with the trigger, way to light for my liking,
I realise that a light trigger is great for target shooting but I'm not used to it and I still find myself at times shooting before I really want to on the bench, in the heat of the hunt that is the last thing I want.

"Nomadic Pirate"not my gun, not touching it.

I'll get used to it, but it's not what I would want on my guns

Thats strange. So they sent you the gun to test, but asked you not to adjust anything? They're not going to get the kind of exposure they hoped for if you don't start taking down some piggies with it!
