Talk about a blessing. A buddy of mine had never shot a hog before, just put together a 16" 300BLK and was itching to test it out. We took him to one of our sweet spots, where 2 days prior I had put out a bunch of Code Blue - Sow in Heat Urine.
30 minutes after dark this brute of a boar steps out 20 yards in front of us. When he got out to 45 yards, I hit him with the Elusive Wildlife Kill Light (red) to which the boar was none the wiser. As he was slight quartering, my buddy poked him right behind the shoulder with a 110gr. Barnes TAC-TX factory load. The pig ran approx. 30 yards and expired. Very light blood trail as the bullet did not exit, but literally hit the inside of the opposite shoulder's hide and bounced back into the shoulder. Classic Barnes expansion. I stretched the tape tight on him reading 270lbs. Trophy boar, much less your first boar! God is good.
