My best pig came out of Mozambique with Mark Haldane's ZDS Coutada 11 concession but I have killed very big pigs with Buzz Charlton in Dande East and Diethelm Metzger in Namibia. The great thing about warthogs is they are found across Africa and fairly common so the big ones can be found almost anywhere.
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Lots of great piggies there gents. I kept going back and forth trying to figure out which was the best. Then Russell posted this monster with perfect symmetry!! WOW!! This one takes the crown IMO!

So I went hunting Warthog over weekend, but only managed to run into a Kudu, could not resist
Sorry for bad Photo, bloody tree in back ground Bull went 58.5" still looking for the magic 60" dream.

surestrikeWarthog taken in the Dande North with Swainsons. I shot him with my M-70 in .375H&H.
But as long as we are throwing in some Kudu here is my personal best 55.5" on the long horn taken with a Matthews Q2 and a 125gr G3 Monotech broad head in Northern South Africa about an hour north of Rustenburg.
