4 for 4 (update added in OP...a mystery has been solved)
11/6/2011 10:56:42 PM
Was out deer hunting on Saturday evening and a large group of hogs came in to the feeder. Decided why not...so the first one to get it was the bully white spotted boar that ran a nice buck off that was coming into my feeder back on the opening day of archery season. I had 4rds in my rifle. Got 4 of them before they could make it to cover. 
The white boar who was first was standing still at about 20yds (still had the feeder setup close for archery season), the next 3 were running away, the last of which was at about 150yds just going into the brush as I rolled him. They were the 4 biggest in the group of about 15 so I was pretty happy about getting rid of them. I'm guessing the biggest one is close to 300lb (maybe more), and the smallest one (a sow) is probably a bit over 200lb.
Glock is in the picture for reference. I did use it on the large red boar (the biggest of the 4 and the largest I've seen on our place to date)...he was running directly away from me at about 100yds when I put the rifle round up him lengthwise...he was very fatally hit and wasn't able to get away from where he fell, but I didn't want him to suffer so I used the 10mm.
********UPDATE*******
A few of you might remember that year ago I had shot a large hog with a 308 in the head and it had apparently bounced off and the hog ran away after briefly being knocked down. Here is a link to the video of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzT33sEhQ20). Well, I found the scull from one of those 4 hogs I shot recently in this post and darned if there wasn't a healed up hole in the top of the scull. Apparently this hog had survived and was doing just fine. I always wondered if that hog had run off and died or if it had made it. Well now I know. I guess he should have stayed away from the feeder... I wonder if he was ever able to figure out why when he'd come within 100yds of that green feeder he would piss himself and forget his name for 30 minutes

Nice shootin, killa!

Thanks :)
Yes, Lone Wolf barrel on the G20SF. Rifle is a Tikka 300WM...I was trying out some 155gr SMKs and H4350 (about 3125fps). This was the first time I've used them on game and I am happy with them so far (although my plan was to use them on deer). Lease is between Wichita Falls and Abilene. I agree, the big red boar is a whooly beast. Probably the nicest boar I've run into before and the largest we've seen on this particular place. It was hard not to take him out first...especially since he was the most reluctant to come in to the feeder and hadn't yet commited fully to it, but the white boar that ran off that buck was destined to be first :) I had no idea I'd be able to get more than 1 of them much less 4...it just worked out for the best this time I guess.

Nice rifle work with that bolt gun. That was a lot more fun than shooting deer, wasn't it?
11/8/2011 12:27:56 PM

Wow. I wonder if anybody on here is good enough at aging skulls to tell how about how much longer that guy lived after you drilled him. Rizzo, you out there?

I checked my log...it was right at 18 months since I hit (bounced) him in the head...
