Connected with one large boar last night and missed another. The miss confused me. Shot felt real solid, like I’d have put a thousand bucks on it solid. Once I inspected the pig I connected on I saw my problem. Somehow my scope has been knocked off pretty bad. These shots are at right around 100 yards and the one I hit was shot about a foot back from where I was aiming. Had the one I missed been facing the opposite way I’d have hit him too, though as bad as the scope is off I’m glad he wasn’t.
As you can see from the video, the one that was shot goes right down but that was lucky. As bad as I missed where I was aiming I’m surprised he didn’t run. Looks like I’ll be making a trip to the range in the next couple of days.
The boar I got was a tank. Way bigger than I thought he was when I shot him. If the measuring method I am currently using is accurate with him, he is somewhere in the 285-305lbs range.
The hit:
