awesome. his face in unique...from this angle anyway. in he wrinkled because he's been gutted or that's how they are?

Now what r u gonna do? you met the chase and won the game. :-)



Thanks for compliments guys. He was field dressed in this photo which would explain the wrinkling in the hindquarters. I pulled the tusks this morning, the wetters were 6 1/4 " long. Face may look  "unique" from me holding the head from under the chin.


As for the story on the rifle, it's one of my homemade AR-15's with a 20 rd mag. Shooting a 55 grain Reminton PSP (power soft point I think). And that is a BSA red dot scope on top with a pvc adapter I made that allows me to slip my nightvision monocular into it. I leave the adapter on during daytime use just because it doesn't interfere with sighting. When night falls, I remove the pinhole lens from my monocular and slide it into the adapter and lock it down. The red dot shows up as a white dot in the scope and the big benefit is that there is no additional magnification and that this particular red dot sight has a large objective lens which allows plenty of tlight to enter the night vision device.

Pig is hanging at a local meat processors right now. Having it cut into bacon, ribs, pork cube steak, whole tenderloin and mild sage sausage.

A few more big hogs came in after this guy but never close enogh to close the deal. There will be folow up night hunt in the next few weeks and then it's deer season.
