What a great country! Went to visit a mate who has wild pigs on his place. Wandered up the back of the farm, chose a likely spot, sat and waited for the pigs to arrive and after a while a big boar wandered down towards us testing the air and generally acting pretty wary. He got to a wee dip and we started to stalk towards him when a magpie flew over him squawking, he bolted about 10m so the plan changed from "stalk closer" to "bloody shoot him now before he bolts". So I did. The Budget Bangstick struck again and I had my first wild boar. Tastes good he does too.

He went 150lb. And so do I pretty much so the carry back to the wagon a mile or so away was interesting to say the least.





My younger brother got one the next afternoon.
