Fort Hunter Liggett Hog Hunting, Boar Taking A 7mm Rem Mag

This was a hunt at Fort Hunter Liggett in March of 2005 with Rick (Westy). We were actually trying to roost some turkeys when Rick spotted some hogs down below us. Another turkey hunter spotted the same hogs and stalked them for a shot below us. He missed and the hogs ran up the ridge to Westy where he wacked the boar.

On the slo-mo you can see two puffs of dirt from the 7mm Rem Mag hitting the hog and then exiting the hide on the far side.

Boar weighed 275 lbs. on the Fort scale and didn't have much for ivory, maybe an inch.

Rifle was a Ruger 7mm mag

Camcorder was a Canon GL-2.

Did the bullet hit the pig before the gunshot happened?

[JessesHunting]

@wilb6657 Yes, when you take shots at a long distance your hear the bullet whack the animal before the boom of the gun.

[JessesHunting]

@eezerik The puffs of dust appear to be centerpunch but the shot was lower in the heart when we skinned the boar. Video and pics are not always what they appear.

@HEAVYbuck yes they are tough but this one looked like it was centerpunched

@jazzstar747 Ive seen them hit with 300 win mags and run 100-200 yards before they drop...They are very tuff animals
