APDDSN0864,Is her pig as big as the one you missed at Charco Largo, 2-3 years ago. he looked like a Hippo, still laugh about that one. Rio7
Oh, sure, rub it in...
Bigger, Blue.
We took a tape measure to this one. 5'4" from tip of snout to base of tail. On it's side, it was 19" from the ground at the shoulder. Didn't try to get a belly girth measurement as it wouldn't have been accurate as he had started to bloat by the time we got the tape to him.
A friend of theirs came over and took the meat we could salvage. Funny thing about this hog, he didn't reek like most big boars. Maybe he took regular baths...
"Killer" put one 150gr .30-30 Corelokt into front of the shoulder, angling through the body as the boar was slightly quartering towards her at about 40 yards.
Good, solid hit. Bullet did not exit though we couldn't find it. Of course, we didn't dig around in the guts, either.
