Over the years I've been blessed with more than my fair share of pig hunting. So much so that, unless its a particularly large Boar, or very cunning, I prefer to take others out for the chance of a shot.
A while ago my deerstalking freinds arrived for the weekend. Both Rex and Sabina are top deer hunters, but Sabina had had alot of bad luck with pigs, so it became our goal to get her a pig for the trip.
The last evening saw us glassing a large valley. About an hour before dark, a reasonable boar was spotted about a K away, and 2 hundred meters below us.The stalk was on. The boar was constantly moveing, making us have to travel quite fast to intercept him, but finally we closed in on his last known position. Sneaking towards a ridge top, I suddenly caught sight of his spine about 35 meters in front of us. We crouched at the ready as he slowly presented more of his body over the horizon. Finally Sabina felt she had enough target and shot him through the neck.
Once gutted and tied for carring, Sabina Slung it on her back and carried it the 2 K's back to my killing shed. It weighed 120lb.

Excellent story! That's a nice boar, but is that weight after gutting? I ask because he looks heavier than 120-lbs! Good job! What did she shoot it with?

Hi Whitworth, Yes thats the gutted weight. In New Zealand its the only accepted weight to give because most pigs have to be carried from the bush. If you give the pigs liveweight as its final measure over here, you will get ridiculed.A trophy boar is 200lb gutted.
Her rifle is a Remington 308.

Thats a good one in my book and all of them are trophys in my opinion. I am getting anxious to go myself and get my freezer stocked up again. Rodney.

Sabina is a tough woman !!!!!
Great story and congrats

I returned today empty handed
I hunted hard from 7 pm till 4 am and I only saw two foxes...
