YEP! Mod 81 w/hunting scene engraving, I think they made about fifty some
thousand or so, right after the Mod 8. Still in the safe!

flcracker, wish I had met you 15-20yrs ago! Good buddy, I'm a hasbeen to hog
hunting. I gave my dogs to my hunting partner 5yrs ago. We hunted together and
ran dogs all over FL. for around 50yrs. I'm 65 and he is 73 now, but he still has
the dogs, last time I seen him he had 26 hog dogs. We use to breed, train and sell
the pups. Our cross was Calahoula, Pit Bull and Rhodisian Ridge Back.
I always had 2 Trail, 2 Bay and 2 Catch dogs. Have killed and trapped many hogs!
The biggest one I killed was in Lake Wales,FL. 375lbsin 1963 and the biggest he killed
was in Fort Lonesome, 465lbs in 1989. He has the head mounted, hes jet black!

I've only taken one hog, and I used a Remington 1100 12 ga. with rifled catilever barrel and 1oz Barnes expander sabot slugs. Shot a 250 pound hog at ten yards, and he was down for the count. Slug stopped in the fat on the far side. Worked great.

It sure did. I used that because that was what I had to use. All my rifles are for varmint hunting. I was very impress with how it performed, and shocked that I did not get complete penetration. Those are definitely some tough critters. I will post a pic later of the slug. It is quite impressive, mushroomed perfectly.

Going out Thursday afternoon with a 20 bore flint fowler. Anxious to see what a .60 caliber ball will do.
