[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1260702, member: 30902"] I spent a good bit of time watching some very large boars this week and was close enough to see that all but one had one or both ears chewed half off or more. All of these were within a half mile of each other and the only one that didn't have his ears chewed up was the one that has the herd of six sows with him. The other three were all loners so I think I've got it narrowed down. I managed to kill one of those three, he's over 400lbs and considerably smaller than the big guy with the six sows. Mario got a good pig this week too and hopefully he'll chime in and post pictures. The boar I got last night was definitely the biggest I've killed in at least 5-10 years. I killed one that would weight more but this guy's tusks are pretty impressive and he's built like a boulder. I killed him at a little over 300yds shooting the .260 Remington loaded with the 125gr Peregrine VRG-4 "Plainsmaster" bullet. He was quartering to me and the shot entered the crease between his neck and shoulder, went right through the spine and into the off shoulder. I couldn't tell for sure in the dark if it exited but if it didn't the guys processing him are going to try and find it for me. That's two big boars in three days with the same rifle and I get more impressed with these bullets every time I pull the trigger. [/QUOTE]
