Spot and Stalk boar

Post by hogcaller »

I was making my evening runs around our wheat fields and saw a nice boar chewing up wheat heads out about 400 yards. The wind was perfect, so I decided to try to stalk up on him. Got to within 100 yards or so and took a shot. First shot hit behind the shoulder, but a tad low. He ran and I put 3 more running shots in him to put him down for good. More than likely he was dead from the first shot, I just wanted him dropped before he got off on the neighbor's property. Used 125 gr Hornady SST handloads. Weighed in at 245 lbs.

We have pigs here in Central Texas but fortunately I haven't seen any "yet" on my small ranch. If they show up, they are meat in the freezer.
