Some of you might remember the "werewolf" boar I posted last year. I could never seem to be in the right place and he would hit the pipes but never show at feeders.
Well I FINALLY caught up with him last week. He had been badly rooting my favorite rancher's oat field. He popped into the field while I was photographing a sow and 2 pigs I'd shot a little earlier. I kept constantly scanning because the sow and pigs had been grazing not rooting. I had a feeling the culprit was yet to show. It's a good thing because he came in directly downwind. I barely got the rifle up and on the sticks when he alerted. I hit him 3 times in the field, then twice more back in the woods where he'd come from. He was a beauty and taped out at 250 lbs. He appears to have definitely lost some weight, maybe on downhill from his prime. Body shape and matching front leg hair and color confirmed him. Happy to get em but also sad because it was always fun thinkin that beast was out there somewhere.
