[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 95273, member: 10"] Mike, This is actually the first boar I have taken at long range, all the others have been with handguns at close range so I agree with your comments about getting them in close. In fact the last one before this boar was one of similiar size that I took out of a group of 6 boars. I spotted them coming down a dry creek bed and decided to crawl up under a sage bush and let them come by and smack one with my Sig M245 compact 45 ACP loaded with 230 gr Golden Sabers. I was expecting them to walk on the far side of the creek bed when they came around the corner which would have been about 20 yards away. Instead they crossed over to myside. When the first boar walked by I would have been able to touch him had I had my 30" barreled 7mm AM!!! Figured I better not shoot him as I had no idea what the rest of the group would do with me laying there flat on my belly at less then five yards. Luckily the wind was perfect and I knew there were 6 boars in the group so I let five pass and as the 6th boar walkedin front of me at a measured 4 yards, I put a 230 gr pill just behind his shoulder. Luckily he whirled away from me and piled up within 20 yards. That may be one of my favorite pig hunts. I have also been sent into standing corn fields after three boars that archery hunters had previously wounded. It was my job as I was the only one packing a firearm, a Ruger 45 Colt Blackhawk loaded to the hilt with 325 gr hard cast bullets. The colt flattened 800 lbs of boar that day with three shots, was alot of FUN!!! Now its time to get you your rifle so you can start posting about some pig carnage!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
