How frigging long before you thought about a pic? Very hungry buzzards. He must've cut it open. I've read that buzzards find them faster if ya cut em open, otherwise they won't hardly touch em.
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

Yep. Moment of Truth pic from last night. Onside foreleg was trailing a bit, which often causes point of aim to be a bit far rearward. Fun to be able to record such things.

Night hunting?? Good Job. Rio7 Yes sir. Started at dark finally quit about 1am. Hunted a few contest but didn’t do much good this year. Only hunted 1 24 hour thank goodness. I don’t like the long day and all night especially if nothing is coming in.

Fatal case of Saturday Night Fever. Both solo boars that suddenly had semi-regular evening schedules this past week (via cell-cam). I got there about dusk and was done two hours later. Spotted with a thermal handheld and then shot with a Wraith IR/NV scope on an AR-10. Cheapo Norma Whitetail 150s. Older boars, one of which had whittled down one side of his tushes, as well as an ear.

Thanks, RS My guess would be, "a lot". (grin) Had to drag one about 10-15 yards, as he didn't afford me a neck shot. He was heavy enough. I keep a length of heavy nylon strap with HD carabiner clips on each end, as it works for hooking them up to the Mule, as well as being a pull-handle for dragging them out of the woods. It would sure be easier if they had antlers. The last couple of large hogs I hung on a scale went 260 and 270lbs, but it has been a while. These guys had to be in that league or better, but I'm really not the best at gauging them.

You kidding Jpro, anywhere else on the innernets and those would be 4-500 pounders easy. Complete with bulletproof shields requiring hardcast 45/70 loads at a minimum. 😁
Good shooting. 👍
