Got into the blind at about 16:30. Napped a little. Looked up at 17:30; there was a sow and nine 15 pound pigs under the feeder. Was waiting for the sow to present a broadside shot when the boar came in. Boar tried to hassle the pigs from the corn. He turned facing me with his head up. At the shot the boar dropped and did not kick.

Ball exited behind the right ear. Hog weighed 200-225 pounds.

In a couple months i'll be 80 years old: Just love those bang flops.

Nice.

I did that on last year's doe that I shot with my .54 caliber TVM Lancaster rifle. My deer was also about 40 yards broad side. I fired, and when the smoke cleared, the deer was in the same spot only lying down instead of standing.
