While I have great respect for the .223, if there are 300 lb critters with bad attitudes around, a .308 would make me feel much better!

google maps couldn't find "wheredafocksat" or "butt fook nowhere" Make sure your search is spelled correctly. Try adding a city, state, or zip code.
hrmmmmm....
hrmmmmm....
so how were the baby back ribs?second to bottom pic on my first post has the sow on her side from the head shot.then the bottom pic is her just
managing to get up and do a runner.
here is the two littles ones that got it
my apologies for not posting the proof
i roasted off three shoulders after marinading in hoi sin sauce for a few days.
very tender indeed,taste varied from a slight pork flavour to a mild gamey flavour.
definately different.
ribs are awaiting my friend to fire up his smoker.

Nice work, any way you can help take care of an invasive species is good by me. So far you're on the CGN leader board for hogs down count, so again nice work. I've hunted a couple different species of boars and they are less dangerous than a black bear, so follow away. I'd ditch the optics as your hunting is close and in bush, bet you'll find you hit better, and I'd change to heart / lung shots, far more reliable kill shots, even with the .223. That's my peanut gallery small change, good job, good hunting, and look forward to hearing about future successes.

Hogs all over SK. Betcha that's where. I've had lots of boar in the last few years.

Ahemmmm...
Considering the way Wrong Way got lambasted, I will word this carefully...
OP, consider Ardent's advice... I have blood trailed bears on my hands and knees through the nastiest cane swamps... that sow deserved more than 15 minutes of your time, invasive species or no... and I say again (repetively on CGN), headshots are NOT a high percentage option... take out the lungs. JMO... flame away.

hoytcanon why should anyone flame you for your comments?
You didnt criticize the guy for his choice of shot placement or some come off mightier than than thou.
i made your point conservatively with no admonishment.
Maybe he will take the time to go for the heart lung shot the next time, but if all that is presented is a head shot why would he take it should the shot be comfortable.
Know your gun and ammo and know your game animal better.
Maybe I have been watching to many European Boar hunting vids on the U too, but some of them sure look mean...boars that is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz-vKu6TEYw
Good Shooting to You and your group.

that vid was crazy... talk about point blank range lol...
going down again today and will try heart lung shot.this is not my prefferred shot placement,i have always been a head shot man.
the sow did deserve more of my time,you are right,but finding the beds of the other eight large boars,being on my own,in thick bush.
i got from there for my own safety.
safety first,i really dont wish to be the first person in sask to be mauled to death by boars.

A pig's brain is the size of a golf ball or up to at best a mandarin orange, and it's the part of the pig that moves most. It's also encased in heavy, sloping bone and can easily send a .223 off course. This is the only part of your hunting I can suggest needs improvement, and there's a good reason head shots are so frowned upon in experienced hunting circles. Hearty congratulations in general and good work, tuck your bullets right behind the "armpit" and your success will go up drastically. Much larger vitals target, and a reliable kill.
