I was on the stand before sun up. Heard a clang of metal about 7AM, thought I heard pigs squeal. My trap is about 100 yards off in the brush from my stand. I got down out of the stand earlier than normal about 8AM curiosity killing me as I though I could hear 'em again. Well, there was a big boar 200 or more lbs, could barely pick the thing up, just guessing, and 5 piglets 50 to 75 lbs in with him. I didn't wanna mess with the piglets, shot the boar with my 9mm Kel Tec as I didn't wanna shoot my CVA Wolf and with 777 and have to clean it. I rigged the door, stood back ready to defend myself and let the piglets go. They high tailed it, didn't want anything to do with me. Shot a few pix before gutting. I have to go skin him, now, and get him on ice, just wanted to post a few pix while I took a break. One upper tusk is broken off, the other is needle sharp, but not too long, yet. Not something to mount, but he was a mean sucker. The pigs down there are mostly European wild boar phenotype due to imports stocked by a large ranch nearby in the 30s and lack of feral animals originally, pretty demonic to look at.
