While scouting a new stand location on the north side of the Colorado River with my brother and dad, I bumped this nice boar off his bed on the banks @ 40 yards. Instead of immediately bolting, he stood and paused to figure out what I was. This gave me the 1-2 seconds to lower the rifle on him and get a round off. Hurriedly my first shot was far back but still clipped lung. As he started running, I started shooting. He took 3 out of 4 subsequent shots before folding at a distance of 65-70 yards. Taped out to 230lbs.

Rifle & Ammo: 18" JP Enterprise 6.5 Grendel. 120 Barnes TTSX

Dang you guys have beastly looking hogs ours look like pansies compared to these humpback dinosaurs.
 
Ah, shootin' big hogs in daytime.

Nice! Keep After 'Em!
 
Talk about a rude awakening. There he was nestled all snug in his bed when shots from the Grendel rang out in his head..............
 
That's fun!
 
Gnarly boar... got his due. Nice kill.
 
230lbs and nice tusks. Now that is a prized tough lil bulldozer!
 
A woolly rhino payoff for being diligent and keeping your boom stick with you while scouting.
 
Nice surprise in the woods! Good boar down! Looks like W. TX red dirt.
