After 26 days of hunting on three different bait sites, it all came together Tuesday night. After only 30 min, on the first night in a new spot. This guy came in with complete silence. When I looked up to see this brute standing in front of me, I thought I was dreaming for a moment. I passed on four smaller bears in the previous weeks in hopes of taking my first adult boar. I was beginning to think it would never happen and then in an instant, everything changed. After almost 10 minutes of waiting for him to turn and give me a good shot angle. I made a double lung shot with my 280 Rem. at 40 yds. and he made a death run of 200 yds. straight down the mountain into a hell hole.
He's 6'3 head to tail and I'm guessing around 300 lbs. His head and hide alone, weighed 91 lbs.
