 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Here's mine. I decided to go Rambo on 'em Saturday evening and broke out the bacon-o-matic rifle.  ;D  >:D Sow was 110# and the boar was 63# (4.5 stone.  ;) ) We had a really good time even with the near-100-degree heat. Not too often you get to hunt in shorts.

629 is 44right?   I thought you were using a 357 if thats a 44 then that was an incredible shot!   I'd like to have seen the sight picture,  must've aimed pretty high or sighted in at long range.  Well done

Hey hillbilly. Were you using expanding bullets or fmj in your sks?   I have a ton of fmj and have wondered at their hog killing efficiency.  If fmj did you have to track them?

yep, the 629 is the 44 mag.  when hillbilly was down last we zeroed it at 50 yards which made it 6" low at 100 yards.  i just installed a metrolight tritium sight on the pistol.  when i was hunting with tim back in dec, i had an aimpoint red dot scope on the pistol, and a 200+# boar stepped out about 20 yards away.  when i aimed the red dot was dead.  made me look and feel fairly stupid so i switched back to iron sights.  the sight pic was fairly tight, i guessed the hog a little over 50 yards so i lined up the sights and split the hog horizontally a shade passed center and squeezed.  she did a quick flip and staggered off into the brush.  she was slightly quartering away so the bullet took out both lungs and the far side shoulder.  i knew it was a good hit when i saw pieces of lung on the grass when i began tracking her.  the rest is in the pic.

I was shooting 154-grain soft points. Both of them dropped in their tracks. I shot the boar running from a bad angle, had to finish him off with a knife. The sow was a broadside shot tight behind the shoulder, she dropped like she was pole-axed.
