| Very nicely done, Charlie! Bushpig is high on my list of must-have trophies.

| Sad to say I've wasted a few nights after bushpig without success. You've taken some nice pigs!
I'm not really new. I had 1,000+ posts going back to 1996, when I suddenly found myself unable to Log In, in late 2013

| Larry, No intrusion at all ! The Austrian 8x56R is a very practical magazine rifle and I imagine a great pig rifle. And the Bundeswehr jacket to go with it . A while back I treated myself to the Krieghoff (slightly used) and initially hunted it with open sights. I then topped it with the Zeiss 1-4 x 20 and it is very much my all round Africa rifle - excellent on pig and more often than not no exit (despite factory Norma 300 grain ammo). Just goes to show how tough warthog can be!

| Nicely done. I can't afford your affliction!
I used the 9.3 to anchor a warthog so I can imagine the .375 is most effective! |

| Some fine pork you got there, nice pigs for sure. The Bushpig is one that has eluded me. Drew a bead on one running at last light one day, but no good shot. |

| Thanks gentlemen. Karoo - giving away the locations is like a fly fisherman giving out the coordinates to 'Mystery River X' which is his secret spot But I can tell you most were RSA North of Thabazimbi or South of Newcastle close to Swazi. Happy to send you a PM or take you there one day! This is one of the pigs above but I love this picture and it shows his spine clearly!

| It appears that someone is trying to rob you of the "warthog king" title. Some fine hunting. Thanks for posting the pictures.
Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.

| Awesome pictures. I remember as a kid being infatuated with hunting a warthog someday. Now I'm more infatuated with the bushpig.

| I couldn't help notice the sugarcane in one of your photos. It appears to be the same variety that is grown back home.
I imagine pigs could play hell with the sugarcane, I know bears do. |

| Larry - not only do the pigs eat the cane, they bed up in it during the day after feeding thru the night. They create huge (financial) damage for the farmers who are only too happy to see them hunted. Juan - you are always welcome and I would be delight to show you some great bushpig and superb warthog spots !

| Hmmm....Argentine Dogos or rather Dogos Argentino in Africa. I'd love to see those reports and pics.
Not surprised about the sugarcane it just had to be that way. I sometimes get some grief from city folks for killing more pigs than I can eat, but the farmers love me and my dogs. |
