350 Yard Boar. Hit or Miss?

I've watched this shot a 1,000 times.
Actually hurts my gut not knowing.
This is the first time I've tried to shoot standing using my Atlas bipod on the top of a mule.
Weigh in. Hit or Miss?

Almost impossible to be certain either way, but my gut tells me that was a miss.

Looks like it disappeared into that brush.

350 yards is a long shot.

At 350 yards if you have to question your shot that means you already know the answer...MISS

Yep, a miss. And 350 is too far for an off-hand shot on anything. Regardless of the unmentioned cartridge and bullet weight.

I don't know. You hear a definite "thump" in the video with the first shot, but not the second...if you listen close and turn up the volume a bit. I could not hear it on my phone, but definitely do on my home computer. That would indicate a hit.

Wasn't an off-hand shot. If I know Zen, he was rested on tripod shooting sticks. Given his ability to be able to zoom his scope while remaining on target with only a slight wiggle, he was definitely rested on something.

I heard the "thump" too, in my mind it is a hit.

Looked like he got some bullet splash off of the ground to me. He felt some sting at least. Very very close.
