My business partner called me one morning and told me he'd shot a pig. When I got there we looked for it. We couldn't find a blood trail or anything. I asked where he shot it, "I don't know" he replied. He saw the pig limp away. I told him next time to kill it, make it is dead before you call me. He told me he didn't want to waste any meat, I told him, "it's just a hog, kill it!"
He called that night, He said, I have a pig on the ground. When I got there, he had shot it's snot off, one hind leg, and gut shot it at least once... He said, "You told me to kill it" and he did. :D:D:D:D

I shot one once with my 300 wby at a little over 100 yards. I had loaded bonded bullets to keep them from going ballistic. I guess there was too much velocity, the bullet hit a little on the shield and exploded. The 180 grain bullet shattered the whole shoulder and most of the right lung. The hog went down like a rock. I went to check out the hog and it was perfectly alive and breathing out smoke from my first shot. I put three more bullets from the old Wby in its heart and it finally died. They are tough creatures.

Well to tell the truth I'm so ugly I just look at'em and they drop dead. My girl friend has the same ability but I quit taking her cause she tears the meat up to bad.

i shot one in tennessee last saturday. it was my first hog kill. it was only 75 yards when i hit him through both shoulders broadside with a .338 winchester magnum with 200 grain winchester soft points. he took a few steps and i hit him with a second shot, then he turned toward me and started in my direction so i gave him another and he went down. he was still upright though andbreathing, so i "paid the insurance" with one more through the backbone, finishing the job. they are a very tough animal. when he was being skinned it revealed that the first shot had exploded the heart. they can really absorb the lead.
