[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1188982, member: 7123"] was a success - we called it a day at 6:20 am when my little Mexican huntin buddy (pictured) dropped this pretty good sized one its tracks at Deep Fork - got really lucky - near as we can tell, the shot went straight into one of his nose holes and into the brain - no exit hole - flopped over and didn't move. The pig saw him first and was looking at him. Rifle is a sporterized Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55mm, which I sold him (like an idiot), wearing a Pentax Gameseeker 3-9x40 from Academy. This was one of three he saw. They were munching on some corn that someone else had put on the ground what looks to be a week or two back. Shot was from about 50 yards standing unsupported --he thinks it was 75, but he's a notorious over-estimater of yardage. We don't know, but we're guessing this boar was 160-180 lbs on the hoof. Tusks were maybe 1.5". His first hog. He thought one of the other two looked bigger. Great hunt - heading to get ice & breakfast before 8am, before it really got hot!
