This is not OBL. OBL was seen this morning by my farm neighbor. However, it is still a big boar hog.

Range: 35-50 yards.
Orientation: Broadside
Weight: 294 pounds field dressed.

Gun: CVA Staghorn
Powder Load: 110 grains of GoeX Pinnacle 2F
Bullet: 240 grain .430 XTP
Primer: Winchester shotgun

Was watching a pond and had just shot at a smaller hog. There was no sign that the hog was hit: No blood, hair or anything. But i kept hearing grunts like a mortally wounded hog sometimes makes. Started walking in a semi circle looking for that hog when i saw a hog take off through the grass.

This hog just stood there and got himself shot. He squealed for about 15 seconds and then stopped. Approached the hog and found him on the ground paralyzed but alive. Administer a coup de grace.

Dragged the hog to a road bank, drove over the bank and tried to drag the hog into the truck with no luck. Gutted the hog and was barely able to get him loaded.

That hog was hit in the lungs. A piece of the bullet must have hit some CNS thing and paralyzed the hog. The bullet did not exit.


That boar is very fat. When i washed out the body cavity with a hose big fat globules washed out with the blood and gore. This is the heaviest bodied hog i have ever seen. The bacon was 2.5" thick.
