Title: Florida Wild Boar 8 yards
Post by: tarponnut on October 13, 2008, 08:49:00 PM: This past Saturday at 3:00pm I spotted a nice hog feeding under an oak tree(no feeders on this property)about 100 yards away.
The wind was perfect and I was able to stalk to within 10 yards. I actually wanted to shoot from a little further out but tall grass prevented it.
After the first shot(liver) the hog ran thirty yards and fell over. I put in a finishing shot to be sure.Very short but exciting hunt.
Nice boar about 150 lbs. 2" cutters.

Post by: tarponnut on October 22, 2008, 07:18:00 PM: Biggie,

Too heavy or too light?
In my limited experience with hogs, they typically weigh more than people guess(and deer weigh less).
If you think it's lighter it probably is.
You've certainly been around a lot more hog kills than I.
Needless to say, I'm proud regardless of the weight.Thanks.
