Shooting My Heaviest Boar To Date!

I don't often get out on early morning hunts but was glad I did this morning!! He certainly took some stopping with the 223 but the right shot placement certainly does the trick.

oh mate, I am frequently impressed with what you can knock over with a .223

[@intothenight1993]

Haha me too😂

[@kenneththompson2968]

Thanks for that info. It’s very helpful!!

[@burkeyistheone]

Good one to start the day. Sounds like you're getting a bit spoilt there hey. Having to use normal glass and not your thermal. Well done.

[@intothenight1993]

Thanks mate. Haha I sure am. Once you get right into using all the thermal gear it’s very hard to go back. It’s like going back to using an old button phone after having a smartphone. It still does the job and has its advantages but the smartphone has a lot more features and makes your work a lot easier.

[@TheBnbonthebeach]

I could watch a new video from you every day. I look forward to your next video as always.

Great video mate. Had to pause it to see if it was my heart beat or yours i could hear with headphones on 😂. I use a tikka 223 and my mate has the ruger. Both on point every time. Big boars are so tough. Have a thermal vid shooting a big boar and even with the last head shot, he was still going, shot gun sorted himout. Look forward to the next video.

What is the name of the mono pod you are using in this video? Where did you buy it? I live in the USA . I sure like the way it works. Thanks a lot for the info.😊

[@intothenight1993]

It is the HyperPod II from Eagleye Hunting Gear. I’m pretty sure they are made here in Australia by Smart Rest. The link for it is in the video description.

[@kenneththompson2968]

@@intothenight1993 Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. Good hunting, Sir!

[@intothenight1993]

no worries mate. I can confirm that if you order one from their website or smart rest website, they can post world wide. 👍

[@boothgenetics9558]

What projectiles do you prefer for pigs?

[@juniorkolo1740]

Not a battlefield guys 🤣🤣🤣

[@Motohumter]

Shot placement is always important, if we could all get the perfect shot on the first round we would. Sometimes you just have to finish what you started as Josh did here. Good boar, nice video.

[@intothenight1993]

That’s exactly right mate. You just do your best to make your kills as quickly and humanely as possible. Very hard sometimes especially with pigs on the run.

[@Motohumter]

I'll shoot them on what people would consider a low percentage shot but I never intend to leave a wounded animal to die. 90% of my culling is on moving targets, once a round lands I'll see it through to the end.@@intothenight1993

[@intothenight1993]

good to hear mate. unfortunately there are too many people that don't care if something suffers of not. and people like that wreck it for the rest of us who try to do the right thing.

[@kennykemp551]

Nice size boar there 115.7

[@intothenight1993]

Yes. I was blown away when I put him on the scales.

[@lukemacgillivray6441]

Great video but why persist with a 223?

[@intothenight1993]

Because that’s the rifle I carry every day and I love it. Yes a 308 would be more effective but my particular 308 isn’t as fast to cycle the bolt as my 223 and the pigs scatter so fast I need to be able to cycle quick to maximise my kills. The 223 is faster to shoot and if you have good shot placement it is very effective before they scatter too far. I should invest in a better 308 one day.

[@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674]

Nice1. ..I unsub then sub....hope it improves your logs

[@ricko3145]

Rippa boar mate

[@intothenight1993]

Thanks

[@lionelbennett4991]

That’s a bloody big boar. 223’s never cease to amaze me . Just replaced my Howa 223 with a tikka lite, 223. Can’t believe the difference. Hopefully this one won’t wear out as fast as the Howa. Cheers Lionel

[@intothenight1993]

I’ve probably put over 5000 rounds through the first of my two Ruger 223s and it still shoots as well as the day I bought it. 👌

[@lionelbennett4991]

I put 1500 , maybe 2000 thru the Howa using 22 gns ar2206h and 55gn sierra projectile’s, not what I would consider a hot load and couldn’t get less than a 50ml group at 100m . Put a bore scope down the barrel

[@lionelbennett4991]

Continuing my reply, after putting the bore scope down the barrel discovered a real mess. Contacted Howa and they want me to send the gun back for inspection. Don’t know what will happen after that. Cheers Lionel

[@intothenight1993]

wow that's a bit dodgy! hope you can get it sorted out.

[@quiquecruz6203]

What anmunition you use..?? thank you

[@intothenight1993]

I reload my own but use a horned 55Gr Soft Point

[@greatdane3343]

Good boar mate 👍 You could try 300 Blackout in the RARR platform. I used to carry 223 on the farm for decades but switched over to 300BLK in 2015 and haven't looked back for pigs and dogs. It will do everything the 223 does out to 200m, with heaps more punch, and is effective out to 300m with some practice for bullet drop. I do reload, but have found the factory Hornady 110gn Vmax to be a great performer 💪

[@intothenight1993]

I was thinking about it a while ago but my research told me that the 223 has just as much if not more punch than the 300BLK as it’s going a lot faster and flatter. And it is way cheaper to reload. So I’ll stick with the 223 and if I need something bigger I’ll use my 308.

[@azamyahmad]

Another great video and you doing an excellent great job, keep it up Sir .. appreciate your efforts and hard work for sharing your beautiful sharing adventure, absolutely super awesome super cool .. Merci beaucoup Monsieur

[@intothenight1993]

Thanks mate. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@bobbythompson3544]

You did well Josh, some breakfast will be well deserved! My mate has just bought a new Ruger like yours and is looking forward to getting into the foxes, he got to handle the rifle in 762 at Lavin Guns in Northern Ireland and fell in love with Ruger and bought a 223, we love your videos Josh and appreciate how you combine work and native species protection,! Stay Safe mate!

[@intothenight1993]

Haha I had already eaten breakfast early before I went but could have had a second breakfast 😂 He will love the rifle! They are great little guns. They just work and are rugged. Thanks for your support! Very much appreciated. 👍

[@timbrown8581]

Another great vid. The infaray Rs75 scope looks pretty awesome, clarity looks amazing!

[@intothenight1993]

Thanks mate. Yes it is a good scope but I wish it was a bit lighter and not so high.

[@lukefurnell2613]

Hi mate may I ask what projectiles you use please

[@intothenight1993]

Sure. I use 55gr soft points from Hornady. I buy the box of 6000. It’s the cheapest way to buy them and they shoot as well as hollow points.

Nice video Josh. Have you ever thought about setting a trap for pigs. Would then be easier to despatch them in the trap

[@intothenight1993]

I have tried it but after weeks of training them to get used to the trap I still only ever managed to trap 3 and I could have shot a lot more than that in less time so I haven't worried about it since.

[@wayne-bo9yh]

Great video thanks mate I use the same rifle even the extra 5 round add on works perfectly I love the idea of the rest I’ll look into one thanks

Thanks Wayne. They sure are a handy little rifle. And very quick to cycle once they are run in. 👌

How is it you never give credit for the music? You use it but don't say what it is. It wouldn't hurt to give the musicians a mention.

@@richom23 cool mate. Hope the hero 11 goes well for you.
