Nice one, mate. Awesome photos.

I take it the pigs were feral? A less-conservative hunter might have decked one anyway and taken what meat he could carry.
The remainder of the carcass would simply fatten-up the rest of the mob for next time!

Sadly, it is dangerous to eat feral pork in tropical Australia, too many nasty diseases and parasites. I take it you have no TB,
brucellosis, sparganosis, Q-fever, kidney-worm, etc in your local wild pigs, Tinker?

Also, once you've seen a big boar reverse out of a week-dead horse carcass, in which he was feeding up to his flank, covered
in maggots and putrid juice, you'd never eat field-shot pork again.

(I got him by the way, with a Davies Aztec broad-head, but couldn't even muster the courage to retrieve my shaft! Boy, that
was special, that!)

Here's the results of my walk last Sunday, BTW. I took the tusks, but they were small considering the ~120+ kg size of the
animal. My hunting buddy got a similar one too.

Hope you are successful with your elk tag, Tinker. Look forward to the photos!
