A very big boar is coming to a feeder every evening. That hog has to be killed with a muzzleloader.

Just after 8 pm a much smaller boar that weighed about 160 pounds came in . The hog refused to turn broadside so I took a quartering away shot.


Range: About 80 yards
Gun: .50 Encore
Scope: 4X Zeiss Conquest
Bullet: 300 grain .452 XTP magnum in crush rib sabot
Powder: 140 grains of Black MZ
Primer: Winchester shotgun


At the shot the boar went down, kicked wildly for about 45 seconds and then expired. The bullet exited under the boars chin.

 
Very cool!!! That is a great way to make bacon. Speaking of bacon, do you make your own bacon? With all them hogs I would have a freezer full of bacon. :D
 
Congrads on the Hog! looks like some good eating to me! :yeah:

The vast majority of wild hogs don't have much bacon. That boar was not very fat.

There are exceptions. This one made some fine bacon:
