It’s been a while since I saw cutters that big. This place must be Little Cutterville.

I dig that rifle (and cartridge). Good shooting.
Boar DOES have nice cutters.
For some reason where I am they tend to be large bodied but have relatively small cutters (in length).
I have a few nice ones....but they are the exception.
Anyway, good job and congratulations.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!

The smaller one came back and was like Uncle Bob...wake up!, and you popped the youngster too!
Nice freezer meat, nice rifle, nice cartridge...what ammunition did you use?

I'm awaiting dies that I purchased from a THF'er, so I am using Hornady 325 grain FTX, with an advertised (on the box) MV of 2000 fps. I figure that at the very close range, that nasty bullet hit them at pretty close to that velocity. Neither one of them even wriggled a bit after being hit. Your reference to Uncle Bob reminded me of this little ditty: Way out on the wind swept prairie, where nature favors no man, a buffalo found his brother, asleep on the desert sand. "Why don't you speak to me brother, why do you treat me this way?" But the brother never said since he'd been dead, been dead since way last May. This is the original source for this: https://genius.com/Leon-redbone-desert-blues-big-chief-buffalo-nickel-lyrics

Hard to believe you actually killed 'em with a single shot each from that little rifle. Nice going.
