  This is probably my 2nd biggest boar. Could not sleep last night and was up with pain, so I kept peeking out the window into the moonlight hoping to see maybe a piggie or 2 show up. Well, eventually this one did. I took him with a quartering shot from 110 yards using nothing but the moonlight and my 7mm Bullberry shooting a 140 grain lead-tipped Nosler Solid Base at 2451 fps MV. Bullet performance was perfect, taking out the edge of the liver and the lungs before breaking through the opposite side shoulder bone. I hope to have the recovered bullet later on.

Bobby, that is an outstanding hog! Congrats. I was hunting in the moonlight Saturday for a boar that was coming regular to the feeder around 8pm. Sure enough about 7:15 my bladder could not hold any more. I stepped out and went 4 steps and heard the "GRUNT"! There he was 50 yards away! We all know the rest of the story. Best regards and Merry Christmas to you and your family. RandyB. | |||

Randy-I sympathize. Mother Nature calls at the most inopportune times. I hope you'll get that hog soon!  Thanks, everyone. Above is one other view of today's hog. Looking back, this is actually #4 in my top 5. Below is #3:  This is #2:  And my #1 (for reference I am 5’11” and weighed 192 back then):  Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

Bobby: Good to see you're still getting around and doing the hogs in. I get concerned when you don't post for a long spell, knowing your health isn't very good. Man, that rifle sure looks like a kids popgun alongside that hog. Thanks for sharing, wish you and the family a great Merry Christmas and some fresh pigs too.

Bobby -- It's not fair to use a short rifle in the picture to make your hog look bigger!  Congrats on a big one. Those old Nosler Solid Base bullets were just about the finest "conventional" bullets ever made. I've got a supply for several rifles and am hunting this season with a 7mm/150 out of a .280 Rem. | |||
