Tossed this up on AHN the other day; belongs here too.

Went for a walk with the missus last weekend, covered about 16 km but didn't see much. The grass is still very long, we had a big wet this year and there's still too much water around. The temptation to drop a few matches was very strong, but I resisted!

Stalked a small mob of buffalo, but nothing shootable. Only saw one boar, with the wife's help. I had walked past a bunch of wallows covered in thick grass, and he tried to sneak out the back. A whistle from Rebecca got my attention!

The 400gr Woodleigh took him a trifle high, smashing a shoulder and the spine, trimming off the top of a couple of ribs in the process, and lodging under the fighting-pad on the off-side. These big Territory boars are incredibly tough animals, that's 4000 ft-lbs and a bonded-core premium bullet pulled up dead in about 16 inches! Unbelievable!

Long-time posters will know I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Woodleigh fan, and with good reason. This one still weighed 85%! Marvellous!

Couldn't resist the obligatory 'bacon-busters'-style photo! ...sorry!
