You can tell its a boar by the distinctive V on its brow, between the eyes.

That and the weiner.

I made sure Uncle Barney was safe; this one was a stranger.

Speaking of weiner, bears have an oosik, like a walrus (penis bone) which is destined to become a hande on one of my next knives!

Nice rifle Vagrant! Is that a red dot scope? Wait, it looks like a trijicon.

I used a winchester round that was WAY too hot for this game. The exit wound was exactly the same size as the entry wound. BOOM. I originally intended to use my Ruger pistol in .454 Casull. I couldn't hit sh*t with that cannon to save my life.

It's an Aimpoint [red dot type]. I have a 3x tele. attachment if I think I'll need it. This is my other .45-70, a bit of a handful :wink:

I bet that Thompson is a lot more accurate than my Ruger.
