His first kill. Solid hit on a good size boar. First time pulling the trigger on an animal and he took this big dude down with a 5.56. He was patient, waited for the a good broadside opportunity and put the bullet in the wheelhouse at 75 yds. Pig went vertical about a foot off the ground, landed on his side. Got up and ran 5 yds and collapsed in a kicking and squealing cloud of dust. It was an all out celebration in the blind. Hugs, fist bumps, high fives, fist pumps. Took him over to where he shot it and showed him how to follow the blood trail. Never been so happy in all my years of hunting. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/11/full-39697-266829-9510f6a3_f384_4194_8db0_35e5da3249bb.jpeg)

Kudos the the young man and the teacher.
