everglades boar
nice photo of my son and I on a recent hog hunt in FL, just north of the glades. Shot this one at about125 yds, he was the stud in the group, watched him for quite a while chase a hopefuls away from his lady-- he tried to mount her 2x, but she wasnt quite into it. he wentdownpretty quick, 50 yrds after the shot. cutters are in great shape, nothing broken.about 250lbs on the hoof. funhunt if you havnt tried these.

Nice shot!
I'm already working on the wife to convince her that taking my 4 year old son with me would be a good idea. So far, no luck... She was pretty upset the last time he just went scouting with me. Of course, it didn't help that he brought a friend home (tick in the ear).
