Nice boar, DNS.

Whether or not the boar was charging DNS, the net result could easily have been the same, a trip to the hospital or worse.

Yeah, i like to shoot hogs in the ear too. But you don't always get an ear shot. i've double lunged hogs that went over 200 yards. Out of the last 15-20 hogs i've killed only one bang flopped. He weighed 230 pounds and was hit right behind the crook in the front leg with a .530 round ball from my New Englander muzzleloader.
