My first hog which was the first anything I have killed was this 70 lb boar at 40 yards using a single shot H&R 12 guage. The bullet must have hit him in the spine because he dropped on the spot. Meat was very tasty. The ribs were the best I had ever had. Used a mix of barbecue sauce, molasses, and hot sauce.
Hog hunting is very addictive. I have since killed 6 more, two of which have gone into my freezer
