Default RE: Russian Boars

ORIGINAL: ericmcgehee

Not from what I have heard. My wife just bought me a russian boar hunt for the 15th of this month. I called the owner of the ranch, and he said to bring a 7mm min. I wanted to try the bow, but he said he would not dare. He said the record was shot on his ranch and it weighed 973lbs. That is no normal pig.
I have been hunting pigs here in California since 1992, went bear hunting, and had a pig tag, and wound up taking a pig instead with a bow...and since then I have been addicted to pig hunting...weapon of choice is bow or crossbow mostly, I have actually only used a gun once. .444
