    Made my 2nd trip to Florida for a hog and I'm 2 for 2. This one had a little problem though. I got to my stand and looked in my crossbow scope and the back lens was missing. When the guide came back, thankfully he brought a rifle with him. Only problem is I have never hunted with a rifle and hadn't gun hunted in 15 years. I shoot guns often just don't hunt with them anymore. So this time my guide gets in stand with me and when some hogs finally came through he picked out a nice trophy hog and I let him have it. Perfect shot placement. He dropped about 25 yards after the shot. It was even a moving hog and I still laid the smack down on him. Was really hoping for the crossbow kill but still had a great time. That was my first rifle kill ever so I can check that one off. I have kills with a shotgun, rifle, compound, and crossbow.

    Sounds cool. I'm looking to do a gator/hog combo next year. Haven't filmed any yet but I'm 2 for 2 so far. Good luck and looking forward to the videos.
