The back of Sunrize acres was my hunting spot, my guide Paul put me in a wood ground blind that had some Spanish Goats hanging around as he dropped me off. I watched the wide horned beast mill around the front of the blind not 10 yard away before they circled back behind me and layed down.
While looking out the blind window, I caught sight of my first wild boar and a smile came across my face. There were about 5 of them about 150 yards away rooting around the forest floor. More hogs continued to cross in front of me still to far out for a shot with my TC Renegade percussion cap muzzleloader. Finally, a group started coming toward me and crossed about 60 yards in front of the blind giving me a good broadside quartering away shot, I put the sights on the beast and let the TC bark.
It was tough to tell if I hit the critter, but I did notice it seperated from the other hogs as it took off. The sow went about another 100 yard and was found it laying on its belly, like it was taking a nap. The first picture is how I found the beast looking back toward the area the shot occured.
