Dad shot a big boar

[theblakester]

This big boar had been coming to the feeder in my dad's backyard every morning and evening for a couple weeks. Big head and shoulders on this guy. Big cutters too. My dad was gonna let his neighbor shoot him but those old guys are lazy. Finally he sat out on the patio and popped him about 30 minutes before dusk a few nights ago. Told him to get the hog on the scale but he didn't bc "it was too much work".... with his tractor smh...

Funny thing is that it turns out there are actually 2 boars that look almost the exact same. And the other boar came in the very next morning. Neighbor says he's gonna hunt the other one in a few days. My dads estimating about 225 .

Pops done GOOD !!! Congrats to him for that one. He shoulda picked up the phone and: "Son... git on over here."

Nice cutters and a SUS banner for sure!

Apparently this boars "twin" is the same size or bigger. Hopefully he will keep coming in and my dad or his neighbor will take that one and actually get it on the scale.
Apparently my dad didn't weigh this pig bc he didn't realize he could hang the scale on the front end loader and hook it to the hog and then just raise the front end. He was thinking he'd have to take it to his skinning rack and crank it up lol

Blakester, need to tell Dad congrats from LSB crew. He whacked a fine big boar there.
Secure those teeth from that boar for your Dad. Bet he would appreciate a wall hanger made from hog ivory.
Congrats!
