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 :ORLY:
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....:oh noes:

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 :o

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 :cool:
