[QUOTE="Butch523, post: 2287687, member: 119885"] Dear Zen Archery, Thanks for your comment on proportionality of the run of Boars in field and woods. I am happy to hear from another experienced Boar hunter. The 600+lbs are rare. My largest kill was weighed at 325 +- lbs. The plus or minus indicates what that hog weighed after being drug and hauled to the butcher. As old and tough as the boar was, it still yielded some good sausage and hams, legs, and ribs slow cooked in a good-sized crock pot with herb, onions and garlic in a recipe provided by old friend and fellow boar hunter. If you are inclined, I'd love to hear from you about your experiences and what you like in equipment and guns and loads you have come to choose for your pursuit of porkers. One reason I write is offer my experience in the more up-close and close-in hunting I purse, largely because that's what I want and it is available close to home. These hunting conditions vary widely, by contrast, to large amount of writing about the hog hunting in (very large in volume) places like Texas and other similar states. Those hunters tend have a lot of long range hunting of distant hogs with a lot of specialized equipment and using mainly weapons more suited to long ranges. In that type hunting calibers like the .223/5.56 x 45 and up are used and reported as very effective.
