@Bfh_auto, I was under the impression you lived near the Wisconsin/MI border? Is this accurate?
Anyway, whereabouts did you shoot this?

I grew up in baraga county Michigan. I've lived by Muskogee Oklahoma for about 10 years now.
That's my brother and his side kick.
He said she ran in after him and came running out backwards with the boar in pursuit.
Thanks. I try to get at least a dozen a year for food.
My father was a Christian role model who taught me to enjoy shooting, hunting, and fishing.
He was happy when I started trapping hogs even though his heart couldn't handle the excitement anymore.
My brother said the empty casing hit the ground at the same time the hog did.

Pretty cool, that. The only time I have ever had a hog die on contact was fairly chunky fellow, just about 200 lbs that I hit side-on in the neck with a .62 cal musket ball from my 20 ga rifled H&R. Blew a chunk out of the neck and spine and the hog just dropped, no jump, no flinch, nothing. Bang, thwack, red mist, drop. Every other hog I have ever shot has given some kind of drama. Except for the monster feral porker that I shot three times in the head with Ruger level 250 grs JSP from a Rossi 92. He just trotted around in a circle after the first shot and after the third, slowly sat down and expired. All three shots went into the skull, and two into the brain itself.
He said this one went nose down and started doing the dead hog kick & squeal. He ran up and slit it's throat because he was scared of drawing more in the thick brush.
BTW I had shot this boar last spring with a 40s&w. It was 60 yards away and dropped only to get up and run off. I left in the opposite direction just as fast. It has a white scar running up it's forehead from the bullet.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your father. One of the toughest things a man will ever do in his life is burying his father.
Yes sir. I appreciate the condolences. But I would like to keep it focused on guns, good dogs, and pig hunting.
I'm proud of my brother's boar and don't want the thread locked.

Details on the rifle used. What receiver sight is that and which way is it mounted?
Williams fool proof for a 94 Winchester. I drilled and tapped the action.
I cut the round part of the front sight off. Which made it perfectly zeroed with the sight bottomed out

Graduation day for your Dad. It’s the hole it leave to those here that is hard. God bless your family in your time of remembrance and mourning.
In the simple words you said about your father you can tell some of the character he had.
Make sure you and your brother keep those memories alive they are salve in tough times.

Even the copies of Winchesters are still legit rifles.
My brother is really wanting a pistol caliber one to replace his 30-30 for general use.
