I actually heard him first, walking through the dead leaves.  I assumed it was a deer.  A glance through my binoculars revealed black and squat and knew I had a pig coming in.  Heart went, stutt-TER!  I watched the coal black wild boar trot down the far wooded hillside.  He got to the edge of the woods and paused, his nose to the air, then headed into the field.  He seemed to know there was some corn scattered around the center of the field and made right for it.  Once he got his nose down in the corn, he turned and gave me a broadside view at about 100 yards.

I raised my Performance Center M&P15 rifle in 5.56mm, made by Smith & Wesson, and laid it over the front rail of the stand.  Placing the red dot from the EOTech holographic sight on the pig’s shoulder, I let out my breath and squeezed off a shot.  

And promptly missed, pulling the shot high!

The pig let out a squeal and a snort, spun around and took off at a dead run—right in my direction.
