Tejon Ranch CA Ground Squirrel Shoot Aug. 2007 Scott (grtwythunter) and Eric Mayer and I went out to the Tejon Ranch recently to shoot some squeaks. I had the .22 mag Marlin 25MN and they had their .17s. Cam was a Canon GL-2 with a Century 2x tele. More info on shooting ground squirrels on our forum at www.jesseshunting.com

This was a hunt at Fort Hunter Liggett in March of 2005 with Rick (Westy). We were actually trying to roost some turkeys when Rick spotted some hogs down below us. Another turkey hunter spotted the same hogs and stalked them for a shot below us. He missed and the hogs ran up the ridge to Westy where he wacked the boar. On the slo-mo you can see two puffs of dirt from the 7mm Rem Mag hitting the hog and then exiting the hide on the far side. Boar weighed 275 lbs. on the Fort scale and didn’t have much for ivory, maybe an inch. Rifle was a Ruger 7mm mag Camcorder was a Canon GL-2.
