For the sake of starting a new conversation, what was the biggest animal you have ever hunted? My biggest so far was a 250-lb wild boar in Texas last year.
I have also taken boar. The last one was 275 +/- pounds dressed with a .50 caliber Black Powder pistol. I would have to say that the largest animal I have hunted, and taken, was a huge 12 point buck that went 238# field dressed.For the sake of starting a new conversation, what was the biggest animal you have ever hunted?

That 12-point buck is awesome, and with a black powder pistol, wow! For my boar, I used blood trailing with a UV light at dusk to track through thick brush. Works great if you lose the trail in cover.I have also taken boar. The last one was 275 +/- pounds dressed with a .50 caliber Black Powder pistol.

You mis-interpreted my post. I shot the boar with a .50 caliber BP pistol. The 12 point buck was taken with a .58 caliber flint lock.That 12-point buck is awesome, and with a black powder pistol, wow!

Yeah, just realized I mixed that up. My bad. Still, a boar with a .50 BP pistol is hardcore.You mis-interpreted my post. I shot the boar with a .50 caliber BP pistol. The 12 point buck was taken with a .58 caliber flint lock.
