Another Boar
I had Mark (foxhunter) over during the week to try for another boar, his first visit
went well back in October ,he got a boar but quite a small one, so was here to try for
a bigger one . We got up into seat at 8 oclock ,wind was just right , i felt sure we would
see pigs as food had been taken 5 nights in a row before,very still and quiet as it got
dark .Around 9 oclock i gave Mark a nudge i heard rustling on the dead bracken on our
left and then a branch break somewhere out in front,nothing else approaches like that
sneaking up to see if safe to come out,then scurrying off in to the wood, without a snort
or grunt ,they were wary of something
Another two long hours ,nothing happening and just about to give up as Mark had a fair drive home ,one last look ,i caught the flash of an eye up in trees ,a young boar sneaking back in,could now see him clearly just standing waiting ,i gave Mark a nod ,he was suitable to take ,he got his shot off quickly, and not a movement ,stone dead on the spot,perfect headshot using 150 grn ballistic tip from my 308
A nice size male around 50kg pictures will be added soon
