I have eaten a big boar but we are so over run with hogs that we dont mess with them.
I shot a giant boar this morning right before light, he buckled a bit and took off like a rocket. Waited an hour hoping more would come in and with no activity I went to look for blood and couldnt find a drop. I heard the bullet hit but with no blood I was alittle disappointed in the 125gr nosler. I switched over to hornady 110gr Vmax and took off my suppressor and dropped a turkey to turn the morning around. Vmax dropped it like a rock.
You guys suck. We don't have near that much meat running around in Oregon. While I don't envy your hog problem, I wish you were a little closer so I could come help. Best we can do is jack rabbits and coyotes out in central Oregon, but they aren't for eating. I guess you could eat the rabbits but after a .223 hits em' it's kinda hard to tell head from tail.
I guess some sub sonic ammo could do it but why?
We only get one deer per season that lasts just over four weeks. Oh well at least it rains here...9 months out of the year.

But you've got every upland/migratory gamebird in North America. Not too mention that insanely long 100+ day duck season.
I know that 300 blackouts and silencers don't help much for this, but I'm just saying....

OUCH.!! Hehehe..
You could always move.. And sides, who sez ya can't eat a yote.?
Sure beats the Crow and stinkin feet I, and many others, stick in our mouths on occasion.. d:^) Schneeks..
Our slugs do get huge, I'm not eating one though. And yote? Well I think I only ate one without knowing it. Of of the B shift Captains made a stew and then half heartedly joked that it was yote stew. I couldn't tell if he was kidding and wouldn't be out of the norm for him. Once they put an add in the paper for good homes to those who don't want their pot belly pigs anymore. You know those supposedly cute little 5-10 lbers that people have as indoor pets? Yeah, they would get one about every other week and cook them up right in the fire station. Nasty.
I guess we are starting to get some 'herds' of wild pigs in Oregon. Since I'm not a farmer it's kinda cool that we might be able to start hunting them here. I have famliy that are farmers and I completely feel for them. I hope they don't get as bad as other Southern states.

Please, excuse the ignorance when I ask you this but why do you let the big ones alone?
