Congrats on the hog. Excellent report and story. I may have missed this, but were you using the bonded or non-bonded shockwave? I wonder if some of the people out there who say they do not achieve expansion on the Shockwave are using bonded Shockwaves. I think the non-bonded bullets are designed for the deer skinned game and alike, while the bonded are for a little heavier. Just a theory, but I was curious to see what you were using. Again, congrats!

What a great hog. And might I say an excellent report of how the bullet did. That really enforces my belief that a good bullet and good shot placement will always get the job done.
From what I read about them hogs, the reason it turned and faced the tunnel pathyou crawled through to find it, was that was the plann of attack for it. It took a lot of fortitude and courage to low crawl down that tunnel of bushes. I bet your heart was pumping over time and every nerve in your body was turned on. It also took a lot of guts to sit it out in that sauna.
Congratulations.

I had a feeling thats where you were hunting. Coastal SC and Georgia have great opportunities for hunting. Only bad things is the heat and mosquitoes from hell live there. I used to hunt near Sumter and the early season was a test of nerves between me and the skeeters. Great shot on the hog. I'm glad you got the rascal before you had to leave.
