Arnhem-Land Boars

Just posted this on AHN:

Took a couple of mates from 'down south' out to Arnhem Land last weekend, walking up some of the creeks out from the Stone Country. We all bagged good boars, jumping them from their beds under the overhanging banks and shooting them on the run. Marvellous fun!
As usual, the newbie made a pig of himself and bagged three trophy hogs!

On the Saturday, I was lucky enough to be in the right spot to get a bead on the largest boar, well over 100 kilos and fairly spectacular in the tusk department. The shot caught him in the right ham as he topped the creek bank, and the bullet was later recovered during removal of the jaw. The 400-grain Woodleigh from my Jeffery .400 double was found in the left cheek-muscle after breaking the jawbone. It was fully expanded well back past the base, having penetrated some 1.3 metres end-to-end, but still weighed 390 grains! That's 97.5 percent! Love those Woodleigh Weldcores!





I'll toss up the full story with more pics when I get time.
Cheers.
