Very nice.
I don't know much about boars.
Is this a native boar or one of those russian ones?
How much does it weigh?
What'd you shoot it with (I see its a revolver).

Whre I shot this one they have several types, including Russian. From the look of him I suspect he was a mixture, but you could definitely see the Russian in him.
We did not weigh him before he was field dressed. Based on one I took a few years ago (I think I posted that picture here as well) he was probably around 250-275 lbs For perspective, I am 6'3" and 230lbs.
That's a 5' S&W model 629 (44 magnum). Took him out of a group of 4 from about 20 yards. Luckily the other three ran the other way!

Sweet indeed.
What was the load? Factory? Handload? Bullet weight?
I use a handloaded Speed Gold Dot 270 grain SP for hogs down here in Fla and in Georgia.

That was a handload. Hornady XTP 300 grain bullet over 20 grains of Winchester 296. Seemed to do the job
