I've been charged once, my first time to see a hog. What an intro!!!

I was out for deer & heard it coming right at me in very heavy brush, so I climbed a pine. After a few minutes, I heard it going away, got down & started following it. 20 min later, as I was entering a clearing, I could no longer hear it or see it. I could see the clearing was big enough the hog couldn't have gone beyond it. Just as I figured that out, the hog comes out from behind a tree & charges me.

I made the luckiest shot of my life with a shotgun slug & dropped it. It was still kicking & squealing & I decided to remove the #4 buck rounds (I was out for deer) left in the 1100 & replace them with slugs. Well, I jammed something doing it. A Rem 1100 can be field stripped while juggling parts in your hands & shaking like a leaf- I did it then. After putting another slug in the head I crept up to the hog - very slowly.

When I got there, I saw the first shot did the trick-after field dressing, you could see the brain chamber was empty from the 1st slug going thru.

I got 180 pounds of meat, the hide/head/feet/tail were another 125. The innards were left in the woods. She (sow with milk in one teat) was great eating for a long time.
