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

Jagd terriers are like that You can remember one when you see it first time and then its up to you if you like them or not. They are not so elegant but when its about hunting jagds going full steam ahead.
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.

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