I have been getting Camtrakker pictures of two boars for a couple of months, and I have seen one of them twice without getting a shot opportunity. Well, I was able to introduce myself to the largest of the two this evening.

I was hunting with my Blaser R-93 Tracker in 308 topped with a Zeiss Conquest 2.5-8 and loaded with 165 gr CoreLokt and 37 grs of Varget. I watched him through the brush for about 10 minutes before he stepped out, and it was a bang/flop after that.

I had to drag the boar nearly a mile to get to my parents barn where I have my deer hanger and scale, but I still have to estimate his weight. My scales weigh up to 200 lbs, and they bottomed out before I had half his body off the ground. I believe he would weigh 250-275 lbs.

Now, I am after his buddy.
