East Texas trophy hunter Billy Ray DoRight harvested this potential new #1 SCI record book monster on his ranch in Walker County, Tx on July 25, 2017. The monster (10) ring "BoarDillo" weighed in at an astounding 120.04 lbs. and green scored right at 217 inches of hard shell mass. The behemoth critter also boasted a inside ear spread of 12.5" wow!!!.. Mr. DoRight describes The Hunt in vivid detail: "I had game camera picks of this "freak nasty" from 3yrs. ago said Billy Ray "then he just disappeared.... Last Friday I was sipping a PBR and doing some scouting and came by an active "grub line". By the size of the grass divots I knew he was massive, only later to be confirmed by new game camera picks on Saturday and Sunday. On the morning of July 25, 2017, I took up a stand downwind of the grub line hoping he would pass by on his way back to his bedding grounds... After 3 hrs with no luck I grabbed me a big hand full of Beehnut and I decided to "grub grunt". The still morning suddenly came alive with the sound of an approaching dillo. After a quick check with my binoculars I confirmed that he was in fact the monster "BoarDillo" I had been seeking. One shot with my trusty Remington 300 ultra-mag anchored the big big boy... When I interviewed Mr. DoRight about his new pending record book "BoarDillo" he said "All my hard work has finally paid off". " I've worked the last 14 yrs. on my place here in East Texas to manage and create the right kind of habitat to grow some real trophies. We generally take at least 10-12 less desirable management "BoarDillos" each season and strive to keep a 3:2:1 boar / doe ratio. Nutrition and habitat are the real secret to growing record book "BoarDillos". We have numerous food plots scattered throughout the property that are a mix of Bermuda and St. Augustine. However what we've really found is that they really put on the the winter weight prior to the rut browsing on my well manicured yaupon shrubs. Our yaupon in this part of the country contains 5 times more protein than normal counties in TX. Due to this natural phenomenon we don't need to do any supplemental protein feeding to build the shell mass in our animals. We are truly blessed to have such great yaupon!!! Mr. DoRight now plans to continue his quest for the the big "5" SCI (Silly Critter's International) He hopes to collect the other 4 being (possum,coon,skunk,and nutri rat) in the next few years.... Mr. DoRight lives in East TX and operates (Yard Army Outfitters Inc..) To book your trophy "BoarDillo" hunt call 1(800) Fir-eAnt.. "Hope this made you chuckle big game hunters".....

High Fence.... that's why it has to go in SCI instead of B&C.

Fantastic shot placement. A high shoulder shot on a boar dillo is paramount to anchoring him where he stands. The last place I'd want to be is down a hole, tunnel ratting after a wounded one. It's liable to get western. I noticed your cartridge choice...smart. How was bullet performance?

Best 'dillo I ever harvested was with a grubbing hoe.... hit him right behind the shoulder blades & lifted him up on the hoe with both hands from the tomato patch..... fellow down the way made 'dillo pie with him..... never got a chance to taste it..............

Does anyone have a contact number for Mr. DoRight? I've been tracking a world class Nutria that frequents the woods/marsh boundary in the Honey Island Swamp just North of New Orleans. I'd planned to take him myself this year, but for the right price I will guide Billy Ray to the kill. I don't care that much about trophies and wouldn't mind helping him add another notch to his Big Five SCI record. However, there will be no PBR in my boat. He can either drink Abita Amber or stay home.

One shot with my trusty Remington 300 ultra-mag anchored the big big boy... Got lucky on that one. Next time, for your own safety, please use enough gun.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

I'm offering up an opossum hunt. Sucker aught to be fat as it's been taking out my neighbors chickens one by one. Got to notify the GW though, a 300 going off after dark might raise some eyebrows.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.
