I was hunting near one of my hog traps last night, and a couple of good sized boars showed up. I lined one up and pulled the trigger on my 7.62X39 riding an AR platform. The boar got away unscathed, but I took out a very mean T-Post that was about to charge me. Stopped it cold. Mean when wounded. . .

Brass; hand loads I cooked up when I first built the rifle a couple of years ago.

Yep! I was very proud of that shot. That sucker never even gave a death kick after I busted him!

Might be hard to clean takes along time to smoke and get it tender to eat.

CNS shots are critical. You just partially crippled it, but it is still dangerous. It can still cut you pretty good.
Be careful out there!

I think I'll go with the sausage. If I grind it up real well and add the right seasonings, and cook it long enough, it just may work out. One thing I must point out: I didn't get a bit of blood on me while field dressing it. And that's a first. I normally wind up looking like someone had tried to field dress me with a dull knife.

Right there, bigjoe; not so much as a dying quiver. Proves how important shot placement is.

I'd have that mounted...trophy post for sure. That's about the biggest post that size I've seen. Just about as big as a post that size is gonna' get. Nice "mass," too. If you boil it before throwing it on the smoker it'll be more tender.

I've been told you can measure the girth around the heart to get an approximate weight. You may want to do just that, and then play the ever maddening "guess the weight game". If you chose to do so, please don't be like all the others who ask you to guess the weight and never post the hog's weight
Don't be that guy!

You going with a shoulder mount or euro ?

I'm thinking a Euro would work nicely.
And on the cooking issue, I've been soaking it in a buttermilk bath for a couple of days, and am thinking a couple of hours in the forge at 800 degrees and it should be pretty tender. All the family members are eager to try it, but have informed me that they'll be bringing boring stuff like brisket and pork shoulder "just in case" the T-post Tenderloin doesn't work out as well as I'm thinking it could. They have no faith. And no discernible sense of adventure And voracious appetites. . .

You going with a shoulder mount or euro ? Well, TexasKC, since I make mounts for hunters from boar's teeth, maybe I could epoxy a couple of pieces of the T-post onto/into some type of frame. Hmmmmm. . .
