Patterning a Boar...

So I've been following this one particular boar on trail camera for almost 2 months. For the most part, he's been very consistent showing up usually 1 out of every 2 days. Hunting is somewhat tight here, and the pigs are notorious for coming in from nearly all directions, so if the wind's not perfect or close to its better to stay home. On the 4th hunt, 2nd hour he comes out and gives me a broadside shot @ 49 yards. With a center punch shoulder shot the 6.8/120SST anchored him on the spot, surprisingly with no exit wound.

Though he looks massive both on camera and in person, he taped out to 200lbs even. I had been eyeballing the flared lips thinking he would have a set of chompers on him, but he barely had any teeth at all, another young, very healthy boar. Backstraps extracted!

Great job on the hog, even if he wasn't the monster your were hoping for.....

Beautiful property by the way!

Hog dropped where he stood. Flopped a bit but never got up again. I'm partial to Barnes bullets but those SST's are ever bit as deadly.

Beautiful property even while battling horse flies walking in, mosquitos walking out, and sweating all throughout, haha

Fun!! Good job! I can't believe he showed up so often. I have a gazillion pics of hogs but none ever that consistent( unless I killed them at the beginning of what might have been a pattern. lol)
