I had been after this sounder for a couple of weeks and ended up getting the previous 270 lb boar that had been following them around. However, they often varied their times at the feeder, showing up as early in the evening as 20:30 hrs. or as late in the morning as 05:45.
This little sounder had as many as 12-14 hogs in it, all females as near as I could tell and all or nearly all were pregnant. Several have disappeared from the group and the last few days, only 6 have been coming.
I missed an opportunity to shoot one of the really large (comparatively speaking) sows, thinking they would eventually make their way to the feeder, but they just left.
Later, two of their smaller members showed up and then also tried to leave. I learned my lesson on the first group, thank you very much. I don't know why I play this game. Is it better to shoot a good target(s) when you have it or to wait it out for something better. I feel smart when I wait it out and it turns out well for me. I feel pretty stupid when I wait it out and then go home empty handed. So I got a bit of a reprieve this evening.
I butchered the hog to see what damage the Berger VLD-Hunting did. I will put together a brief video on that and post it later. The bullet performed impressively.
