Yesterday was a wild success. Father and I saw this big boy come out about 550 yds away right at dusk. We quickly ran 100 yds, deployed the bipod, set up on a road that crosses a highline, turned on the lit reticle (the dark was creeping in and I couldn't see the black reticle against his body), ranged him at 450yds, dialed 3 Mils and sent a 168 grn SMK flying....DRT. My best (and most exciting) shot to date on a live animal. For those not familiar with shooting, 3 Mils @ 450 yds is just over 49" of bullet drop at that range. I was carrying my CAMO 511 in a Rainwalker sheath. We measured his chest at 48", which estimates to about 280 lbs. Not huge, but a very nice trophy where we hunt. ![[Linked Image from i99.photobucket.com]](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l287/Izhmash/BOAR_100811_1.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i99.photobucket.com]](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l287/Izhmash/BOAR_100811_3.jpg)

Well done! Hell of a shot.
I'll tell you that every wild hog I've had the pleasure to eat was the best pork
I've ever had. Tender and Delicious. Slow cooked all day over a pit.
The cook( a High School sweetheart's dad) used some sort of vinegar based
solution to keep it from charring.
[censored], I miss his cooking more than I miss his daughter.
