That's a damn good hog, you should be proud! Now give us some details -- where particularly! Congratulations!  "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid."

yeah where the heck was that...drop me an email...I will call you with my recipes Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

thanks guys, well i live in rhode island and my buddy lives in long island new york. we hunted at big boar lodge in upstate new york, just south of syracuse. its small compared to southern lodges, only about 300 acres. but ill tell you, with 3 feet of snow, its pretty tough chasin them things around all day to get a shot. i deer hunt a lot but this was the most challenging and rewarding hunt yet even if it was a fenced ranch. ive never worked so hard for an animal. it was really fun. we chased em all day and tried setting up, just couldnt get a shot. finally i got on a stand and they tried a drive and i had 8 other hogs come by, 1 slightly larger. i couldnt get a shot. then this thing comes out of no where like a bulldozer and gets 20 yards broadside. i cut the heart right from the lungs and it dropped about 30 yards later. ive got it on video, if i could figure out how to post it i would. | |||
