He must have been smelling me and I been seeing him for a while, but only on the trail cam, not in person. He's been hanging around, kind of sparatic. I would see his pics for a couple days then he would do what boars usually do and disappear for a week at the time. Sunday evening we finally showed up at the same place and same time. Trail cam showed he was there at 5:30 on Saturday evening but he and a couple more boars decided to wait till right at dark to come in on Sunday. Didn't much matter as long as I had shooting light. I had left my fanny pack home by mistake, video camera and all. I had left at 5:30 Sunday morning to drive down and just didn't get all my stuff. My spot has been flooded for a while, more than a foot of water around but it didn't seem to bother these boars. My shot was dead on the money and he didn't go far. I was glad too cause at 220 lbs he was not easy for me to deal with. My wife wasn't feeling well and decided to sit this one out. I could have used her help for sure.

That's one awesome hog. Are you going to have him mounted?

weekender

Snake, he is not my biggest, we have several mounted now, no room really to hang another.
