Giving me the stare
Oh they know your in that tiny hide. They know.

It was a great morning with a lot of snow. Perfect conditions for shooting wild boar.

an impressive looking boar Edwin, set off very well by the snow. I like the snow around its face showing us what its been doing.

I figured you'd be out there in all that snow and cold.. :biggrin:
And looks like it was worth your time and effort!.. :toast: Great shot of this big fellow!

Hope my health will allow me to get out there whilst there is some of that winter wonderland left soon as it sure is gorgeous right now over here!

He looks menacing. Love the snow on the muzzle. What's that funny thing hanging from his chin?

Nice one Edwin :toast:


It must be a little bit worrying sitting in your hide when that glaring at you :biggrin:

Nice, and the snow on his nose completes the picture.
Whatever the focal length, he doesn't seem to be *that* far away... :redface:
