Walked a few k's around the swamp edge this arvo. Bit of sign and was about to turn around and head back when I spotted some egrets feeding. Moved closer expecting to find some pigs. One lone boar up to his belly in water feeding on alli-aceris dulus. Decided to shoot for a pass thru behind the shoulder so he would make it back to dry land . 145gr 7mm passed thru and he came back towards me. Put Mak( weimeraner) onto him as he trotted into the paperbarks, Mak had a chew after he went down. Set him up for some pics then decided to move on a bit further.
Had just made it to where I shot the boar from and another boar walked from the deeper water towards us and started feeding at around 35m. Wanted to shoot him so he would exit the water as well so waited for him to offer a clear shot. Got Mak to sit and wait. Watched him feed for a couple of minutes then he scented us, head up and alert he turned and headed back out into the reeds. Shoulder shot him and he dropped on the spot. The winchester 145gr factory exited his neck. got fairly wet getting him set up for some pics. Im very happy with the performance of the featherweight in 7x57.
Heres some pics Mick
