Wild Boar hunters 2004
I just though I would post some pictures of the pigs my guests have taken this year so far.



This tusky boar was taken by IanF and shows expectional tusks, even more remarkable is that the animals appears to be still been quite young. Ian made a 200m head shot on this pig, worried that is might make off into the bush!


These tusks measured 19cm each in length, the case is a 6PPC and shown for comparison is an AA battery.


This guy came over from Norway and hunted pretty hard for his stay and got to see a lot of great pigs.
It was the third day when we got a chance at this boar from across a lake.


The ladies aren't missing out either! This little guy was taken with a head shot once again from my formidable 6PPC


This one was taken in almost total darkness but the contrast on the snow helped pick up the outline, we were able to get to about 20m from then before taking an offhand shot.

It's been a good year, these people were all friends over on swap huting arrangements which is something we have come to
find works better than going though outfits

Maybe the hunters themselves will chime in and give us more detailed stories about the hunts?

Express Mate,

I wish I had known about you when I visited Toscana in 2002!

Looks like you have been having some fun.
