One shot did it! Must have been good shot placement! Thirty yards on the run, 707 lbs.

I'd like an opportunity like that. I took a 200 lb boar with a single .223 shot this year at about the same distance. I might have needed some of the rest of my 20 round magazine had it been 707 lbs!

Here is a different report - North Carolina Hunters Bag Massive 707-pound Wild Boar | OutdoorHub

The question of the day - If the animal is running straight at you, how is this shot made?

"It was a mountain of a hog, and it ran straight at the hunters with the intent of mowing them down. As the hog charged, Florence said he downed the pig with just one shot in the heart behind the fatty gristle plate that protected the animal痴 vitals."

The first article says the two guys dragged the animal -- with the help of the terrain --- out of the deep woods.

I will tell you there is no way I would even attempt to drag a dead 700 pound pig anywhere --- even if it was downhill.

I am guessing this story is getting a little like fish stories --- the more times it is told the more dangerous and interesting it becomes.
