Ronnie and I went hunting last weekend in one of our honey holes. The temps were nearly 80 so we didn't have much hope but, it was the last weekend of the two week rifle season in that area. Saturday evening Ronnie had a nice 1.5 year old 5pt mingling around his stand when he all of the sudden spooked and out steps this guy. 7 Wea Mag w/ a 140 Nosler Partition quartering away at 60 yards. Bullet impacted torward the back of the ribs and exited right behind the shoulder and through the thick shield on the off side. Large entrance and tiny exit. DRT with a couple of twitches. He tipped the scales at 225 and had some nice cutters. Talk about sharp, these bad boys could definitely do some damage.     I quartered him and took him in to the packing house for some sausauge. We usually don't keep boars, but this one had something wrong with his testicles(Unusually small) and didn't have a rank smell at all so I told Ronnie I'd keep him if he didn't want him. Should make some fine pan sausage. Ya'll have a Good One Reloader | ||

Will do. It'll probably be feb at the earliest. I usually just place heads in my extra deep-freeze and boil em all at one time. I will not forget about the photos. I need to post some photos of the skull mount from the 350 pounder I took a few years back with my S+W 586 357. He was a toad for sure, my second largest to date. Have a Good One, Reloader | |||

Post it up, Reloader! If a 350-pounder was your second biggest, what was your biggest?! "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||
