This big guy met me and my 357 S+W one cool morning in a Louisiana Swamp Bottom several years ago. He came running by as fast as a 350lb boar can go(not too terribly quick) and I busted him at 30 yards through the base of the neck with a 158grn JHP. His tusk are even more impressive in the skullmount displayed in my reloading room.



The most impressive cutters I've ever seen around here.

Ya'll have a Good One.

nice,
you better post a pic of the skull mount for comparison
greg

Heck of a hog and great cutters. If you get the chance, post a pix of the skull mount.
Here are pix of a boar I shot last August that has fair tusks.

Some good lookin hogs!

If I ever get a pig with some good choppers on it I will definately be getting it shoulder mounted.

geedubya! that sure is an ugle sum bietch!you actually eat 'em?

yeah man, don't even cook or skin em. First drink about 6 or 8 shots of mescal (gotta be "with the worm"),cut you off about a 1" x 3" rectangle, cover the fur with habenero sauce and make sure that you swallow with the bristles pointing backward, that way they go down and come out easier. Cure what ails ya in a hurry

As you seem to have plenty of expirence whacking ang stacking,I'll take your word to heart and get a few bottles of mezcal and get to practicing.maybe some habenero sauce ,too.the way those things bred,should be up here in no time.

Thos are a couple of beasts!! Wow!

Those are some nice Tusk Geedubya, I've never seen a hog that small with tusk that large. Quite impressive.

To tell the truth, I'm glad we don't see many hogs anymore. It was fun hunting them, but the little bastards can tear up just about anything. The farmers have just about eliminated them in our area. If you see one while deer hunting, it will usually be a monster.

Good Luck,

Reloader

AWESOME HOGS both of you very nice indeed.

Reloader- Here in Hawaii there are some areas with good genetics that produce nice tusk although the pigs dont get really big. I'll try posting a pic of a small boar with some nice tusk we caught. It weighed 100# and had 4 1/2" tusk sticking out the gums. Hope the pics shows up



Happy Holidays,
Dom

Heres another he only weighed 125#



Aloha,
Dom

Ultramag,
Talk about beauty and the beast. The lady in the pix is a stunner, a keeper no doubt, and the hog she is showing off has some great cutters. Looks like you have it made.
Good hunting, merry christmas and a prosperous new year to you and yours.
GWB

Dang UM, those sre some nice cutters!

Darn fine looking lady as well.

Reloader

Thanks for the kind words guys Yeah I think i'll keep this one she's alright by me!

Reloader-Wish we had a couple 350# bruisers for the dogs to work on so we could grab it and stab it.

The biggest boar I ever stabbed was on the big island he weighed 385# dressed weight he was a bruiser, flew off the dogs like they were piss ants it was an awesome adrenaline rush going in there and grabbing and stabbing him.

Here's how we bring them home from the valleys we hunt.



Goodluck to all in 2008 hope its a great year for everyone.

Aloha,
Dom

Hello dom!

You should ride the pig out of the mountains and then stab it ! It may be easier on your back!


Justin

Aloha Jus,

Thats pretty damn funny right there I had a good laugh on that one. It sure as hell would be way better on the back for sure. On the flats aint so bad its when you gotta walk through the rivers and up the steep slopes to get onto the ridgelines is what kills the back.

That boar on my back weighed only 142# but he sure felt like 300# by the time we got him out of the valley and back to the truck

When they start getting over 150# or so then its a pretty tiring pack no doubt. Especially if you dont have much guys to rotate with. Ive packed a few over 180# and it get really slow going up them hills

Aloha,
Dom

Dom, Happy New Year! That looks like it's hell on the back........and knees.......and ankles.....ah hell, the whole body!

Hey whitworth,Thanks and same to you! Yeah it is hell on everything thats why we mostly debone them in the field now. Gotta work smarter not harder

Take it easy,
Dom

Yesterday I received this photo from a friend , He took it with his 375 h&h, night stalking from a blind with moonligth (Euro way) near the Black River province - Argentina, Very lucky indeed , I have not more details.I have a hunter beauty photo too but if I put it I will be in trouble and surely the Administrator will ban it je,je, I hope you like

Thats one ugly mutha that I would not want to dance with up close.
GWB

Guillermo,

I shot this hog in mid december but could not find him. Another hunter found him two weeks later and told me about him. the pictures really do not do justice to the hog. The cutters are about six inches long and as thick as your index finger. Once the critters have finished I will try to post better photos.
GWB

That is an awesome hog Guillermo! That would definately be one that I would shoulder mount

Justin

All of these hogs pictured in this post are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING to say the least...

Congratulations to each and every one of you and thanks for sharing...

Your photos and trophies are awe-inspiring to me as a newbie hunter...

DITTO!! When I see all of these pics I just wanna run out and go hunting! I know lots of folks just kill smaller eatin' hogs, but man, how do you pass on something that big with so much ivory? The short answer is YOU DON'T! Someone has to keep the taxidermists in business!
