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

That is one big " boar " like pig. Nice shot, where is going, on the wall or floor ?

Excellent bear!

For those who don't know, boar= male bear, sow= female bear.

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

What bullet did you use and at what range was the shot?

Did the .308 dig in deep enough to hit the heart?

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.

exactly what I figured. a good .308 load on a bruin is a dead bruin.
