    Deer hunt brings home the bacon instead.

    Went for a local deer hunt on the weekend, stumbled along this boar and a good head shot secured me so pork. Hour and a half hard grind got him out. The 308 does the business

    Thats a bloody decent sized pig, I'm not that keen on Boar pork.... Had an old gamey one and it's put me off wild pork unless you pick the right animal same as goats I guess

    Ha ha the no of times hoped for venison has become pork is quite frequent. Target of opportunity is what I call it now. Sows generally eat better but any dead pig is a good pig

    How many laps of the Nelson CBD did you do with it on the back of a Hilux?

    Looks solid. Variety is the spice of life...
