 Not much to tell. It's my 3rd largest I've ever taken. Used a 23" 30-30 AI with a 150 grain Ballistic Silvertip ahead of 36.2 grains of H4895. MV is around 2570 fps. Range was app. 185 yards, and the hog -- shot through the heart -- made a 20-yard dash into brush so thick a rabbit wouldn't even go in there. Hope to have a recovered bullet photo later on...

 The photo doesn't do this one justice. I am estimating he'd go a solid 285-290. But he did not make it onto a scale. As to the bullet, it broke the onside shoulder, penetrated the heart, damaged a portion of the lungs, broke a rib on the opposite side and made it through its 2nd encounter with an 0.7" thick gristle before coming to rest under the hide (very nearly exited). The recovered bullet weighs 109 grains. Doubless-You could probably smell this one a mile away...he was quite rank.

Thanks, fellows. Mississippian-I did not get to weigh him, but from experience, I'd say he went 285-290 -- maybe a pound or 2 more but not likely any less. Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

Very nice Boar. I would say he had a lot of Russian blood in him, but I would also say that most of that blood came out once you shot him! Here is a question: If you were to weigh or guesstimate the weight of the hide and shield, what would you say it was? Cheers, Matt | |||
