does this count as a big bore kill?

wife shot this boar with my #1 4570. She was shooting a 540 wfn that was hollow pointed at about 1400fps. I think it made it bleed!

Must have been a small hole... not much of a blood trail.

You just can't see the first quarter mile of heavy stuff.   ;D

We definitely need more ladies like this in the field.  Great picture.

My congratulations to Herr Lloyd's wife.

I love Marlins, but had no idea that they came with the RPG (rocket propelled grenade) attachment.

YOWSA.
