Black Powder Big Black Boar
Last week I drove up to Charters Towers in Far North Queensland hunting Feral Boars with my 50 Cal Black Powder Muzzle Loader rifle. We made a good stalk in towards the big boars located half waypoint down the swamp. We had to bypass 15 or so small piglets with-out disturbing them or there moms...easier said than done for-sure!
The wind was miss behaving and it was a slow go but as usual it paid off getting into range, The first shot was just over the boars back but the second shot from my back up Muzzle Loader was spine shot bringing the big boar down rather quickly.
Its been along time since I've hunted hogs in Australia so it was a great experience once again and I wasn't disappointed either he stretched out the 6 foot long at least and great tusks and cutters both intact...
Green scored the tusks and he should make the Top 10 SCI for Muzzle Loader South Pacific record book.
