####s those are some big oinkers Must be some sweet eating though

 

[open-sights]

sweet eatin? I bet it was inedible. No doubt a boar and reaked of fish when cooked. Nice trophy though, I imagine a full mount would cost a few bucks, look at the tusks though, beauty.

That aint no Fake i lived in Northern Queensland for 8 years and the Boars get huge! We liked shooting them with a 12 ga or a 270.

Guys were always asking me why you got a bayonet on a shotgun

Well go pig hunting in 8ft high sugar cane and you will be very happy to have a nice pig sticker on your gun LOL
Part the cane with the blade listen for the dogs.
Once the dogs got one they Squeel like pigs then sometimes you can stick the Bayonet right into the pig while the dogs got it freaked.


We were doing the farmers a favor and had a blast killing them porkers.
Some have 6 inch razor sharp tusks. There so sharp they will slice your hand if ya grab them when the pigs dead of course.

Oh and we didnt eat them there mainly full of worms and alot had Tric!

I'm with open-sights, big old boar like that would probably not be very good eating. Just about any domesticated pig can get that big if it lives long enough.
