. Started off sitting on a maize bait at 5 pm. Young sow came in from the side, shot her at 7 m and she bolted into the sugar cane. Great blood trail from 30.06 and after 40 m a finishing shot at 2 m. Estimated 2 years old and weighed 37 kgs  . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | ||

Excellent trophy! Looks like quite the adventure! What bullet did you use out of the .30/06? "Let me start off with two words: Made in America" | |||

Fine harvest. I'd love to hunt bush pig -- and warties again. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Fantastic! Bush pig is high on my list! Definitely going to try for one my next trip to the Continent. "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||

I hunted the Natal a few years ago and we went out at night in the cane fields for bushpig. Some monsters were seen, but unfortunately we had some very expensive Brahman cattle in the same area and the PH wouldn't let me shoot. He said that just one of those bulls was at least $30K USD.  | |||

Charlie, Nice pig! Must have been fun finding it in that tall cane! You said -
+1 on hunting with hounds! Love it. The hounds had run this boar into a small creek and under a downed tree where he was fighting them off and getting in a few good licks. My "stalk" was walking to the bank, leaning over the action and shooting the beastie from less than 3 feet. FUN! BTW, it is rarely so easy!  Nice cutters too! He cut two dogs that day.

. Bill, Nice pig!! And a big set of teeth !! Hounds and night stalks - hounds by day in the maize and cane and stalking at night with a thermal imager and night vision. Very best of both worlds!! . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||
