WhitworthFriday Night Hog
Shot this piggy on Friday night, but didn't locate him until Saturday morning. He actually only went about 25 yards after being hit, but it was dark. The side you see is the offside, where the bullet exited. I shot him just behind the onside shoulder, quartering towards me (hey, it was all that was presented to me). Oh, and I shot him with a rifle, not the Redhawk in the picture. I had to pose with the Redhawk so that the moderator on this forum would let me post these pictures......
Check out the gristle plate.

Full disclosure! Good looking piggy anyway! But, I thought YOU were the moderator?!!

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

LOL! I still have the one rifle -- and at least it's a big-bore! Don't tell anyone! For the record I hunted last night with a revolver, but lucky for the pigs, none showed up at the party!
This is the first time I have hunted with a rifle in years. I had to do some testing.

MS HitmanCome on and 'fess up. You shot the hog with a .38 Special; I don't believe all this rifle nonsense for a minute.
If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out.

gumboot458Nice hog Whit . Did you use your 450 ?
.If it can,t be grown , its gotta be mined ....

WhitworthThanks! No, I used my .416 Remmie loaded with 300 grain TSXs. Worked like a charm, did lots of internal damage, and left no blood on the ground oddly enough.

Sorry I didn't see this. It was a factory load from Double Tap.
