Western WY.
2 days ago I snuck into a hide site and waited for about 7 hours and got this Boar at 125 yards on the move with 1 shot from my SR-25. Helluva experience that I will remember forever. This Boar weighed over 350 lbs possibly closer to 400, measured 6ft 11 in after we skinned him 
UPDATE!!! I've written a short story about the entire hunt and here is the link http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1513569_VTAC_Bear_Hunt.html New update http://www.wyoga.org/wyoga-big-game-awards.php |

Great looking bear. I'd really like to get on a color phase blacky, especially a big sucker like that one.

The .308 passed through the entire bear, the hydrostatic shock I observed through the lungs ended him very quickly and I nicked the bottom ventricle of the heart but he stopped breathing before he bleed out internally.
I used a165 grn bonded bullet and the bear was easily dispatched. |
