Evan had his brand new Sabatti in 9.3x74R and was keen to use it. On the first morning of our hunt, Doc and Bernie had gone for a ride on the quad and spotted a good boar, so Scott took Evan out to the same place to try to get it.
“The boys were able to see a freshwater crocodile and we also spotted some good scrub bulls”
THEY parked 500 metres downwind and were stalking slowly towards the waterhole when Scott spotted a small boar walking to where they had parked the quad. Sneaking to a paperbark tree, Evan took a lean and fired a walking shot with his new pride and joy. But at the shot, the boar took off.
Evan chambered another round and fired again at the sprinting pig. Simultaneously, a tree splintered and the boar dropped dead. It turned out the second shot had hit the tree
