Congrats, James! That's a classic looking boar. Definitely good Russian bloodline.

Excellent! Makes me want to drag out my 29 and go shoot something big like that hog. He looks mean! How hard you drivin' those 300's? Is the new barrel a rebarrel? By the size of the exit hole the XTP must have expanded nicely.

A new barrel signifies there had to be an old barrel .Whats the story behind that ? Wore it out shooting pigs? You are enjoying this retirement thing waaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaay to much James. Good shooting on the hog.

Sure miss snow. Nice pig X2! Miss snow? We are getting snow for the 5th day in a row. It can be good for hunting or not so good, depends. It is great for coyote hunting, but I am not able to get out for the past month or so, so I just watch the "pretty stuff" fall. With our snow though we have been getting below zero temps all week. Good going James!

That is a awesome hog! I always had good luck with 44mag XTP's. Shot one hog with a 240xtp and one black bear and many deer. Also shot a couple deer with 180xtp. Good bullets.
