    Decent Boar

    The pigs have been making a bit of a nuisance of themselves after the recent rain & one of the sows appears to be on heat so a few of the local boys have been showing up for a party
    We went & gate crashed their party earlier tonight, it was a bit awkward, I wanted to make sure I shot one of the suitors
    Picked on this one as he was bigger than the others & a different colour, he didn't make it easy though, they never seem to stop unless they are digging & even then not for long....



    As he was moving when I shot him the 6mm Hammer 75 HHT hit him a little low, but at 4100 fps they really upset things
    I knew he was a big bugger as we really struggled to drag him let alone get him on the back of the ute once gutted, the tray is 1800 across



    Fat as mud is such an understatement in this case & doesn't even begin to describe his condition, didn't have very long hooks & appears to be fairly young
    Got quite a shock when the scales were reading more than I thought he weighed & he was no where near off the floor, even put him back down to make sure they were zeroed



    He is nearly 100lbs heavier than any others I have shot over the years, still hasn't really sunk in yet
    7mmsaum, Tahr, veitnamcam and 12 others like this.
