Superhunt, I have only killed 6 wild boars so far, like Topgun all were head shot from a stand with a good rest, the furtherest at 81 yards, all dropped in their tracks. I did spot and stalk for half a day one year and saw a bunch of hogs, or I should say parts of lots of hogs in the woods and could not get a shot I was comfortable with so I didn't shoot. However, we had a set of tripod shooting sticks, like they use in Africa and if I cold have taken a shot at a hog that gave me a head shot, I would have taken it, because those sticks were a solid rest. Maybe something for you to consider carrying with you.
