Got out late last night, wasn't expecting much, but got into the field and found several sounders of hogs eating on the weeds. Made the quick stalk down to the nearest animals and let him have it. One shot with the 22-250 soft point and it was over. Son made a good shot right into his head that dropped him. The pics here show him a little bloated, we waited until morning to move him and by that point he was a little thicker through the belly than he was right after the kill. Young boar, about 150 pounds.  Classic example of photo perspective making the animal look a lot bigger than it really was, two angles of same animal and son:

Any pig kill is a good kill. If needed I'll send that young man some more ammo! Just keep knockin'em down son!

Off Topic: For anyone who's ever wondered, that's about a perfect eating size pig. Nothing meant against the young pig killer at all, keep on whakin' and stackin'. Just that it's a recurring question, "What's you're favorite eating size pig?" Well, just for a reference, that's it right there. I'll say it again, good job young man!
