The End Of A Pesky Boar Hog
#1

This big boar and other hogs were chasing deer off a game plot. Yesterday he got shot.
Attitude: Broadside
Distance: About 75 yards
Rifle: .50 caliber TC Encore
Scope: 4X Zeiss
Bullet: 250 Grain SST in crush rib sabot
Powder: 120 grains of Black MZ
Primer: Winchester 209
Photo was taken several hours after the kill.
Hog ran about 75 yards an collapsed.
That is the exit wound. The 250 grain SST performs well on large hogs. When driven at a good velocity the bullet fragments, destroying the lungs and heart. Sometimes the liver gets torn up too.

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.
