This afternoon my wife was feeling under the weather, and the in-laws took the kids for game night. That freed me up to let Shannon rest (I went hunting to let her sleep

). This beast stepped out just before dark and was very nervous - he had no clue I was there, but he was very jumpy about a pig that was still in the brush. If the other hog was larger than this one, I wanted no part of it! This boar was over 300 lbs (remember, I'm 6'4" and 240 myself), he had cutters nearly 4 inches long and his molars were worn nearly smooth to the gum line. He wil make an impressive european mount!
As I arrived at the property I had sighted my bow in after adjusting the sights, and I elected to sit in a box this evening with my .243 since the bow tree is so close to the pig trail and there was absolutely no wind this afternoon. I figured they would smell me and would never come out, so I closed all the windows in the box blind and just used the peep holes until I was ready for the shot. Worked like a charm, but I need to remember to bring a big strong assistant when I kill these things. I can't pick them up, and could barely drag it far enough to get a good photo, lol.
