Biggest boar killed on our property yet.
We shot this boar a couple weeks ago. He is the biggest one we have killed to date. He weighed in at 250 but i think he would have weighed more in his prime this is one old boar. Shot him with a 223 40 gr v-max right in the neck did not move. finished him off with 243 in the chest, gonna euro mount him look at those tusks!!!!

the 2nd shot was because the first one just paralyzed him so to be ethical we made sure he was completely dead and was not feeling anything. He probably was gonna die within a few minutes but it was just one bullet so why not.
