That ain't no piggy, that's a HOG!

DAM! He looks like he is big as a COW!

Hey Capt Rick, small world.

????????????

Just saying small world seeing you here and over at KWOA.

That's a massive hog for sure! Looking forward to seeing the pics when/if you take him down. Good luck because you're gonna need it. Those big boys are crafty. They didn't get that big by being stupid.

Get that big hog.

What the #ell was all that???

Hogs like that are why we quit using small caliber rifles to hunt them. We normally shot them in the head but we can't get a head shot we shoot them behind the shoulder. The last big one we shot like that we counted at least 5 scars in his shield were he had been shot before and it healed up. We shot it with a 200 grain .35 and at 60 yards it still stopped short of going through the far side. We recovered the bullet under the skin on the far side. I have a .450 Marlin I use that is great for big hogs. It is bigger than I need but I don't have to worry about them running off and having to track them through heavy brush.
