BakesGood buff from my old mate Gary Hall up in the NT
And a bit of a write up-
I jumped into a steep sided, semi dry creek line as the four bailing dogs were giving a hog a deafening

I didn't even see the buff with all the commotion. Then a bit of movement to my left caught my attention. It was looking straight at me, luckily, the ear-bashing the dogs were giving the hog made it turn & run. As it turned I whacked it twice in the neck, it staggered, just made it up the bank. Got wobbly legs, fell over, got to its feet and a quick follow up shot had it back on the floor. Quickly running over I put the barrel in its ear & it was all over.
I see heaps of buffalo when chasing pigs, but don't usually shoot, however, it was that close it was an instinctive reaction. Plus I was hunting by myself & none of the dog's can drive the quad back, it things turned nasty.

Although, Rocky, the Jack Russell would give the quad ago.
The ammo was the cheapest factory loads (MAGTECH) you can get, as I'm a cheap bastard.
Gary.
Rocky, the Jack Russell, is ‘The Real Deal’ (Jack Russell/Grizzly bear) who’s small in stature, in your face, adrenalin junky; and if human would be into fast cars, motor bikes, bungy jumping and sky diving. No matter how big, aggressive or threatening a boar is, he wants to be in the front ranks taking the heat.
Gary.

sambarman338Good stuff. So what calibre/weight is that cheap ammo?

BakesI'd say it was Gary's 44 mag lever action. I think it's a Puma.
