300 pound boar with 5.56 AR pic

[josh7328]

Shot this one on a night hunt in Texas. 5.56 AR, Federal 55 gr soft point, estimated 300 pounds. One shot behind the shoulder at 10 yards. The brute charged my tree stand and went down after about a hundred yards.

Very nice!

How much penetration did you get?

Im not sure, but there was no exit. Here's the entry hole.

But, but, but we were told no one hunts with these types of assault weapons.

Nicely done. Bacon, pulled pork shoulder, chops, ham, mmm thats good eating.

Oh yeah. And dont forget that the 5.56 is too light for anything other than fruit flies. The internet said so.

Thank goodness the 2A only applies to hunting and sport shooting.


My AR sits unfired.........until tomorrow!!!!!!!

Nice pig, good eats there. Nice shot on that too, I just wouldn't trust a 5.56 for it myself. I know my luck and I'd end up gored by a pig with 3 in the heart as his last gasp of breath was shredding my legs with tusks. Plus, for every hunter that shoots correctly like this there's several more that hunt like the video in the Texas pig hunt thread, and I just wouldn't hunt that way.

This was my first pig, and after the way he charged the stand I was in, if I am up close like that ever again, it will absolutely be a behind the ear shot. That guy would have jacked me up if I were on the ground.
