Not a terribly long shot but its my best "amazing shot."

Years ago in Hawaii my dad and I headed up Mauna Kea to look for mouflon, and feral goats and boar. From the start everything went wrong with the trip. We missed the alarm and woke up to late. Trying to hurry in the morning to get ready we forgot half our stuff: game bags, skinning knives, etc. So by the time we got there we had essentially given up hope of catching anything. It was too late and too hot for animals to move.

In addition I had a terrible stye eye infection. My right shooting eye was almost swollen shut and leading pus everywhere. It was pretty bad...

So while out hiking my dad says, "Hey look over there!" I see up the sloop of the mountain a good sized black boar eating grass. Maybe 175 yards away. I plop down and get in a good sitting position with a hasty sling. I'm using my battered Ruger m-77 in 30-06 with a really baaad Simons scope on it. I could barely see with the eye infection. But one shot and down the boar went. It was a bit of a challenge cleaning him and carrying out the meat with only a pocket knife and no game bags, but we managed.

In regards to action he should devote himself to hunting...
