Again, no exit pic but pertinent to this thread.

550 lb wild boar in Europe. Shot with an outfitter provided 300 H&H and a 250 grain A Frame.

Why didn't they provide me with a 243 that is "easier to shoot?" Its not allowed. Why? tTheir experience is they don't penetrate well enough to kill...especially if it hits the shoulder bone.

If I were crazy enough to go to Europe to kill a pig I'd disguise my face too.
Its a beautiful place. The Hunting Consortium set it up at SCI for us.

Epic lodge, epic meals, girlfriend came, amazing rituals before and after the hunt...don't get me wrong, 10 days in a 2 man tent chasing elk is big fun.

So is having a shower and a great meal while seeing a great hunting culture.

Try it someday. Or not.

Lots of hate and snide comments around. I couldn’t care less what caliber someone uses or where/how they hunt, as long as it’s legal, go for it. I like seeing and learning from all forms of experience.

I guess I should revive all of the dead pigs I have left laying around TX, GA, and SC that I killed with my 223 and tell them they shouldn’t be dead because contrary to them actually being dead, the bullet should not have penetrated their shoulders.

And yes, before you ask, quite a few of them were 300+ in weight
