The coyotes were not cooperating tonight. Only got one to give us a shot and the shooter (not me bang ) missed. Soooo frustrating! On our way to the next stand this big boar was sitting pretty at 100 yards in the headlights. I sent a 55 grain hornady Vmax at him and it dumped him. I was kind of shocked that he didnt run. One of the biggest Ive shot.

Hit him high shoulder while he was trotting right to left. Didnt realize until I got the skull that the shot had hit the spine right above the shoulder.

The 223 may have dropped him, but he was just stunned. You're fortunate he didn't wake up when you were cutting off his head.

Nice shot on a great hog cheers

Not likely. He would have had to get out of the trap first!

Great hog! He's a big one. I shoot hogs with a .223 as well. I like this caliber for hogs but I will only take head shots. Which also means sometimes I don't get to shoot.

Your will power is too strong. Once I see hogs in the scope, it's like trying to stop a golf swing on the the way down.

Well played rofl
