large boar

[mc68]

I was finally able to buy my won hunting property a couple of months ago. It is only 50 acres but it is mine. This large boar started showing up on camera. I finally got set up to hunt and on the first night right at dark he showed up. I took him with a green light on a .450 Bushmaster using 250gr Hornady round. Dropped him in his tracks. He weighed in at 290 lbs. What is crazy is he had been shot before in the high back area. The wound was covered in maggots.

Good job, that is a long ridgeline...nasty wound!

 

[DaveABQ]

Good job. Those maggots will actually help the wound heal.

 

[bldsmith]

Great job. You hammered that one eh?? Them Maggots were just getting a head start.

Congrats on the land purchase ! That's exciting. Very fine hog to start out with on the new spread too. Nice shot. How much back strap did ya lose to the old wound? That's got some ugly goin' on there.

New land purchase and your own hog to boot! Awesome! I wouldn't eat that rotten thing, stop at HEB on the way home.
Somebody, somewhere nearby, is telling his buddies about the 400 lb zombie boar he shot and it got up and ran off. LOL

Probably shot him with a .300wtf. Great hog and congrats on the property.

It is really nice to own land. It makes working hard a lot easier when it is your own. FYI, I took his head and left the rest. He was nasty.

I think me may be the daddy of these guys. Future fun.

Now there is your BBQ size. So what surrounds you and does your 50 have a draw for hogs other than your bait?

 

[Curly Shuffle]

Love the picture!! They look like some dandy ones coming up in the future. If he was the dad you are going to have some onsters!!! Nice going, the picture is pretty cool, love the ridgebacks!!! BANG BANG!!

Baby Tuskers! Looks like the hill country above S.A.

I bought what we could afford. It is a subdivided ranch with sections from 50 acres to several hundred acres in Rocksprings. We lost our 1000 acre lease 30 minutes from our house and replaced it with 50 acres 3 hours from the house.

First week this showed up. Very exited to see him on the property.

Sweet, it is not the size but the draw, what you plant and feed as well as water. The best of luck to you.
