Another hog down tonight
#1
Showed up in the same place, almost the same time. I got this one to hold still for a couple seconds, and I had a good rest on the frame around an old water well head. They call that framework a "PIG PEN" Big Grin
It was fog and drizzle, and I didn't bother to turn him over to check for exit wound. He was a "bang flop".
UPDATE: Went back this morning to check, and the exit wound was maybe 1/2". Found the left front shoulder was dislocated when I tried to turn him over with it. The shot location, and the lack of any "dancing" when he went down probably means it got the spine, and maybe hydraulic shock got the shoulder joint???? I'll leave all that to DNS. MV on my loads is 2518 - 2525, and at 120yds (the range he was shot at) the bullet speed shows to be about 2336, energy 1737lbs. From the three yotes and two medium size boars I've shot so far, I'd say this bullet(123 ELD) is fine for killing critters. Probably just that,,,,,
"killing'em". May mess up some meat, but I don't eat boar meat anyway.
Maybe the backstraps off a nice clean small sow in cold weather Smile
Not trying to clutter up the forum with chit chat,,,just passing on info.

They are workin this old man pretty hard getting down to them in the soft ground. But I'm loving it Smile
I'm going to take a hot shower, and hit the sack, and sleep good. Good huntin to "yall" Smile
