I was rather disappointed with my 30-30 the last time I shot a pig. I woke up one morning and he was walking around right outside the house. I'm not sure how much he weighed, but he was huge. He easily madetwo of any show pig I ever had. At 75 yards he stopped, and I shot. My shot was right behind the shoulder, but I hit him about 3 inches higher than I wanted to. I could hear it knock some of the wind out of him and probably break a rib cause the bullet made a crack when it hit. His back end went limp and he started slowly settling to the ground. I thought I'd dropped him where he stood. Then he got up and took off like he'd never been hit. I never saw him again. There was a couple of tiny drops of blood where the bullet impacted and that was it. No exit wound, no blood trail, no nothing. I gave him about 30 minutes to find a spot and lay down, then I looked for him most of day. No hog to be seen anywhere. I never even smelled him. I came back a week later, and still no pig and no smell. I'm still baffled by that one.
