Thanks folks.
i've killed dozens of large boars and it's always a kick, especially with a muzzleloader and patched round ball. Wild hogs are an invasive species here. They are detrimental to the whitetail deer population. A large sounder of hogs is like a plague. They destroy the nests of ground nesting birds, eat up the pecans and acorns pollute the ponds and streams, destroy crops, cause soil erosion, etc.. You should see what a sounder of hogs does to a field of peanuts.
Large boars sometimes develop a taste for fawns. i've caught two in the act of killing/eating fawns.
