I was asked to come out and shoot some hogs in Winder back in May. After a few trips out there, I was starting to think the had moved on. Then, one morning around 3am, this fella passed me. I heard him but could not see to shoot. Then at 5am he came straight to my location and started digging. Still to darkto shoot, but he enjoyed himself until the sun broke the horizon. That was one tough beast, gun used was a Ruger Hawkeye in 358.

Did not weight him but he was a fair bit larger than my buddy in the foreground, and he is in the 235-245 range. Contrary to what folks have said about larger boars, he tasted great.
