Killed a Big Pesky Boar

[Okie Hog]

This big boar and other hogs were chasing deer off a game plot.

Attitude: Broadside
Distance: About 75 yards
Rifle: .50 caliber TC Encore
Scope: 4X Zeiss
Bullet: 250 Grain SST in crush rib sabot
Powder: 120 grains of Black MZ
Primer: Winchester 209


Hog ran about 75 yards and collapsed. That is the exit wound. The 250 grain SST performs well on large hogs. When driven at a good velocity the bullet fragments, destroying the lungs and heart, sometimes the liver gets torn up.

Photo was taken several hours after the kill.

Congrats! Do you eat a critter like that or just pest control?

i've eaten large boar hogs. Meat is good, if sometimes tough. That particular hog became fare for the buzzards and coyotes.

Nice pig! I wish the ones eating me out of house and home would show up in the daylight!
