What a boar!

Nice, sure would make a nice shoulder mount!
Okie

Yes, let's hear the details, Juan!

If you use the Dogo, why the firearms? Seriously, that is a good hog. The Dogos will dismember a smaller hog. Tango on!

That's a terrific trophy!

How about a few more details on bullet type/placement/performance?

Thanks for sharing the photo!

The hunt was during a cold nigth,the client was a portuguese hunter ,who owns a shotgun shooting club in Portugal ,he shot with the boar in the shoulder a bit low at 50mts,he used a cz and fmjs,the boar gone down and when we aproximated him he wake up and run awway ,the client shot again with the 308-but in the rear leg and i put a double tap of solids in the torax cavity with my glock 40sw ,as we lost him in heavy bush i released the dogos and they catched him we run there and finish the boar with knife .I believe and the client too that the boar can be in the top 10 of the SCI pure russian boar .Juan

He just nodded off momentarily -- it was a tiring hunt........

This boar was shoulder mounted and is in the main lodge of an outfitter from Cordoba province ,i dont know if it was registered in the books but it can be among the top 10 in the SCI ,DrPozzi killed several hogs of this size ,has one in his house kiled by rifle with 30cms tusks but he never registered a trophy,the hunter is an owner of a shooting club from Portugal ,recently he sent 6 of his friends and killed 21 hogs some very good ,all by knife ,one an old member of the group was a Flecha in portugal african wars.

Juan,

Was the boar hunt at a waterhole ?
I supposed so, but why he use FMjs ??

You have the dogs near ?? You were not afraid of them spooking the pigs ?

Or it was just a walk in the night hunt with the dogs ??

Lorenzo here nera Mar Chiquita lagoon is impossible to hunt in water holes since theres plenty of water and food ,so the use of dogs is common practice,this specific hunter wants to kill ,a boar with knife a dogos but ,when we put the spotligth on it ,he said he prefer to sue the rfile ,i always have a cz308 with fmjs in my truck that i use for everything from hares,foxes cats to boars ,even i killed some buffalos with it ,the other gun thats always with me is my glock40sw ,ok after shooting it,the boar crossed a stream and went into the bush there he had the oportunity to use the knife,.I believe this area will produce monters hogs in the future because its very difficult to hunt ,and they have all the coasts of the lagoon where nobody lives.You are invited to come ,the ranch here isnt mine but is from a good friend CESAR BOERO a name with many trophies registered in ROWLAND WARD .Juan

Juan, what did that beast of a boar weigh??

I stimated over 200 kilos but im not sure .....there are bigger near the coasts of MAR CHIQUITA but they are mostly feral hogs.Juan
