I'm a target shooter; not much of a hunter. That said, I was out clearing some cedars with my dad, and this guy started ambling around in the brush. One shot with a 77gr TMK / 8208 XBR / LC Brass @ 2500fps rolled him down a deep canyon. 3 more to stop him from squealing. What do you figure he weighs? I know nothing about hogs, but I'm 35, 6'4 220 and he was one heavy SOB. ![[Linked Image]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/3834/wP30fF.jpg)

You are now a hunter.

Don't know what he weighs, but deduct 20 pounds for mud.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Save his head for a skull mount or cut tusks out to save. If just keeping tusks let dry real good couple of months then fill with super glue to keep from spliting.
