Zombie Boar

Zombie Boar - 04/06/18 09:36 PM

This big boar absorbed 5 300 grain hornady SSTs before finally going to hog hell.

I first spotted him after getting out of my truck on the edge of a large field. Rushed and loaded the gun and grabbed shooting sticks as it looked like he was gonna bolt. Started my stalk and spooked some deer who blew at me and alerted the hog. I know he couldn't smell or see me but he knew something wasn't right. I threw the sticks down and found him in my thermal right as he was trotting away. First shot hit him good with loud thump. I watched him run about 150-200 yards and then looked like he went down. I made my way over to where he was and watched him at about 50 yards for a few minutes. He never moved so I began my approach. About 30 yards away I see his ear twitch and I readied the shotgun. He jumped up and I shot him 3 more times before he went down and then finished him with a 5th and final shot. It sure is fun working that 40 yr old pump shotgun.

I am thinking he was probably there by shot #4, but I liked the quality assurance shot of #5!

When you hit shoulder-ish area with those slugs, what kind of penetration are you getting? I’m assuming you don’t get pass through, but I’d think everything between entry and opposite shoulder would be destroyed?

usually if I hit bone it won’t pass through but it does a ton of damage. Both this boars shoulders were broken. I didn’t cut him open but I know I got at least one pass through.

That was one of your best videos yet.
The sound of the pump shotgun says you mean business.
Thanks for sharing this one!

I’m getting much better with it lol. For a while I had to remember to pump another round In the chamber now I just do it without thinking. I’m becoming one with the shotgun haha.

What kind of slugs are you using. Seems like I asked once before but can’t remember..... been thinking about using s slug gun for a while. You’ve about got me convinced. Gonna build one with an 11 round magazine

I shoot 300 gr Hornady SST sabots. I’ve tried other but they don’t shoot as well as these.

Anything worth shooting once is worth shooting twice (or more).

He was a tough one, but you tamed him good!

I agree. I’ve dropped many with one shot but this guy must have had an adrenaline rush that was keeping him going haha. First shot was a good hit lots of blood where he was bedded down.
