With so many variables, every shot can't land perfectly on target. I don't know a single hunter who hasn't had a shot go somewhat awry requiring follow up shots.

Yup. And 90% of them who have been hunting long enough are being disingenuous if they don't admit it. You just don't want to make a habit of it. Nice pig, OP. You sealed the deal and that's all that counts.

You should have had that .50 Krater! I don't know about you guys but that shot to the "netherlands" would have put me down.

If you can't make a kill shot, don't take a pot shot.

If you are telling me all you have is one shot kills, you are trolling and have probably never been hunting before! Lol. Crap happens, the goal is to close the deal as quick as possible, even if it takes a few shots to do it.

I suppose if you don't have anything constructive to add then the next thing to do is take a disrespectful shot at me?
The goal in my book is that if you can't make an ethical, clean, kill shot then don't take it. The video shows him taking 6 shots to drop and kill a pig. He should be proud.

Should have been done on the first shot
The animal was stationary not running so no excuses at all
Get the rifle bagged and tested again check your shot placement on paper it's all high from what I see
I like and also follow 1 shot kill you say BUT!!!!
And absolutely nothing to be proud of six flammin shots to take out your prey

His first shot looked like a lung shot to me - it was a kill shot. Good for him to keep shooting until it went down.

I am shocked! a 6.5 with some good shot placement took 6 rounds to put down that small hog. I am never using a 6.5mm, EVER. I will stick to my .430", .338", .308", and .375" projos I used back in California to take out 125 pounders to 1,000 pounders. I knew I did not like .264" projos.. this seals it.. not going to waste my time with any 6.5 MM bores.

More bullets for the rest of us!!

Have you never needed a follow up shot?

First shot was high in the neck he was going for a head shot and missed on a stationary target ????

Never on a stationary target

 

[cjl2010]

Never on a stationary target

How many animals do you think you have killed that were stationary?

 

[Nowoolies]

How many animals do you think you have killed that were stationary?

Couldn't say mate
More than I can remember
I shot proffessionaly most of my life
I shoot head , we are restricted on shot placement 4 places
North South East Or West in the head ,no body shots allowed .

Welp! That escalated quickly.
I was pretty thorough in stating first shot was shooter error. If you are one to blame equipment first then you've got another agenda (aka. your caliber choice is obviously the right one).

He was dead on the first shot. Farther back and high then I like but still dead. Now you've got a 150+ boar running at you, are you just gonna stand there?

Finally, this boar was in the dirt less then 50 yards from the first shot. I'll assume every animal you've shot hits the dirt with your shooting ability and your caliber choice.

No kidding. Too bad owner wanted it back already!
