Got to go hunt a nice little ranch through someone I met on Facebook. Amazing property and such a fun hunt. Super proud of my wife we don't have night vision etc, but the ranch had feeder lights. She took this boar at about 125 yards with her 7mm-08 shooting it as it was silhouetted against the green light behind it. Her shot was a little far back but with the hell of the ranchers handheld thermal we found him dead 50/60 yards from the feeder. This is the 5th animal that 7-08 has taken using the federal American white tail 139gr and I gotta say it's one heck of a round for Texas game.

We didn't have a scale that was working but by our estimates this boar was easily over 275 maybe pushing 300lbs.
