This was my youngest son’s first Boar. We were sitting on a food plot Friday evening waiting on one of several bucks to show when this boar showed up walking directly to the stand. After I verified it wasn’t one of the black bear cubs we’ve been seeing, I told him it was a big pig that he could shoot it if he wanted to. He’s always talked about wanting to shoot a big pig and he had the safety off and shot before I could even get my phone up for a video. It dropped at the shot. I asked where he shot it at since it was walking right at us. He said “well it put its head down to eat, so I shot it right between the ears.” 268 pounds with good cutters, he was pretty excited. It sounds weird to say, but this was the prettiest pig I’ve ever seen, he was jet black, shiny, without a spot or blemish on him. I wish I had the $$ to have a full body mount done. As it is we’re only able to get the teeth, apparently a .243 at 65 yds will split a skull in half if you hit it in the right spot lol.

Nice pig. Tell your son we said congratulations!
 
Congrats to the young hunter and proud father on a great memory made. Real nice cutters on that one for sure.
 
Great job, young hunter! You and your dad made some unforgettable memories.
 
Congratulations. That is a trophy boar.

I can’t thank THE HACK ANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT enough for retrieving back my funds from these heartless scammers. They are truly a Godsend, and their services can make a significant difference.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
