One of my 9 year twin girls has wanted to shoot a hog , not deer just a hog . Last Friday we went within the first 5 minutes of day light one showed up. After a little trouble getting the scope lined up and all she dropped him with one shot, 132.2 lbs . She is super thrilled and so was I. We have a hog competition for the kids at our place and so far she is in the lead she is also thrilled to death about that .
