Default my first hog

taken over a creek as he came out of a thick, overgrown clear cut. I'm guessin 140 or 150 pounds. I had to drag him about 3/4 mile. Took him with a shot through the spine just behind the neck.

.243 with 100 grain bullet. About 40 yards. Minimal entry wound and no exit wound. It was mostly a downward shot as I was high in tree on opposite bank and he was nose down to the creek. Completely destroyed a vertebra and spinal cord at that joint. Dropped him right there. Lucky he couldnt run or there wouldnt have been blood til it came from his mouth. Need more penetration!

Nice pig. I've got my kids this weekend, otherwise I'd be out hunting for them.

Congrats on the pig. Hunting from stands is often the way to go.
