Great looking bunch of hogs. What did the tusk measure? (showing from the gum line) What kind of rifle did you use? I would like to read more about the night hunts. Congratilations on a great hunt and thanks for the pictures.

Hog Killer,

Thank you.

The boar with the best tusks I got was the first one: 23.9 cms (9.4 inches).

I used my favourite boar calibre � 9.3x62, and the rifle was a Blaser R93 toped with a Zeiss scope (3-12x56 with illuminated reticule).

The hunting took place on the mountains around Karab�k (northern Turkey) during the full moon period and was done over baits (corn and apples), on cornfields and also on the fruit trees� gardens of the many small farms on the area.
After reaching the area by car, with the guide and a game warden, we spend as much time as necessary (provide there is enough moonlight) to walk to the various baits, cornfields or gardens until we detect a boar. Then we have to get close enough (without being noticed) to make sure we can take a clean shot.
It�s a really trilling experience!
