Small Pigs With Muzzleloader

[falcon]

This afternoon i had hoped to get a good hog for myself. Was sitting in a stand watching a waterhole in the middle of a wheatfield with my CVA StagHorn muzzleloader. Across the wheatfield came four pesky little pigs. There had been 12 of them before i thinned them out.

Cut down on the spotted pig at about 80 yards and it bangflopped. While reloading the larger spotted pig slipped away. About the time i got the gun capped the two remaining pigs took off. i fired at one running and got another bang flop at about 90 yards.

One small dark pig made it to the woods, the larger spotted one went down a gully and also got away. i don't like to shoot little pigs with big guns but you use what you brung. The spotted pig weighed about 30 pounds on the hoof; the smaller one about 25 pounds.

Gun: CVA StagHorn
Scope: Weaver Grand Slam 3X10 set on 4X
Bullet/Sabot 240 grain .430 XTP/Crush rib
Powder: 100 grains of 3F Pinnacle
Primer: Winchester shotgun
