Got my Russian Boar Mount back today
This past May i went on my first Wild Boar hunt.As was fortunate to harvest a nice Russian Boar.So this is actually my first bow kill of the year.
My taxidermist did a Awesome job on it.I couldnt be happier with it.
It's not how big the Deer,But the size of the experiance that matters!!

RE: Got my Russian Boar Mount back today
Congrats, Carpetguy.
May I ask what that hog weighed? I am booked to hunt Russians the 7th - 11th of Oct. The palce I am going has no crossbreeds or ferals, just 100% Russians, I am wanting to take a 300lb or a little less, I have been on the phone nightly ,almost, with my soon to be guide and he assures me he can get me up to a hog of that size...we'll see. I am also going to be trying to take a Red Stag, they are weighing around 600lbs for a 3 year old or better Stag, and depending on genes, he said that they range somewhere between 5X5 and 7X7. He will not let anyone take a Stag less than 3 years old. Thats also a good looking mount. were his tusks actually that large?, I know that is just a jaw set, sometimes, I have been told they break them off alot.

I WENT ON A RUSSIAN SPLIT HAIR BOAR HUNT IN CORPUS CHRISTI. WHAT A BALL. SHOT ONE, SAW IT GO DOWN, WAITED, WENT TO SEE IF IT WAS DEAD, THE SUCKER GOT UP AND CHASED ME BACK INTO THE TREE. I GOT THAT SUCKER ON THE WALL.
ITS A GREAT HUNT, JUST BE CAREFULL. THEY ARE VERY MEAN
HUNT ON HUNT HARD EAT WELL

RE: Got my Russian Boar Mount back today
Here's a pic of the boar right after i took him.I wanted the tusks to be as close to the same length.I know some guys put in a larger set in the mount.I crawled about 50 yds on my hands and knees sometimes on my belly.To get up on him.I was getting pretty nervous once i was within 20 yds.I took the shot at 19 yds per the rangefinder.I was one exciting hunt.And i am going back in Feb with my Taxidermist,and possible another board member and his son.
