Horrible little monster, grunting and growling away as it followed some sort of trail.

I should have said "Like a horrible little monster". Just the impression.

Congratulations on the boar. The first in your hunting area, are they colonising new lands?

Thank you John. They slowly colonising Finland starting from Russian border but still less than 200 boars are shot in Finland yerly.
Daryl I spined it but not from a tree stand. 120 meter freehand shot standing on a ground. Hit bit higher where I ment it but dropped it.

Nice, as usual!
Indeed, the climate is probably a bit too harsh for the wild boar in Finland.

Have you swapped the Meopta scope for a Zeiss?

LOL! LOL!

2 Zeiss scopes? So you think they're worth the extra money over the Meopta?
We didn't compare the scopes although we discussed it... My fault - I've been in the neighborhood so I should have dropped you a note.

Quality / price ratio is about the same with zeiss and meopta but I think that zeiss illuminated n.60 reticle is close to ideal for overall/night time use.

Thanks!
Its the last day of a hunting year today in here so its time to turn new page. I have 2 new dog for this season and hope that they both will do their job. Hopefully some good moments ahead.

That was one of the most memorable hunts of last hunting year.
