Big Sow With A Patched Round Ball
Gun: .54 TC New Englander, 26" barrel
Powder: 90 grains of Black MZ
Cap: Winchester #11 Magnum
Bullet: Patched round ball
Went hunting this morning. Saw several smaller hogs and one big spotted sow. Followed the spotted sow down a woods trail for about 150 yards: But she gave me the slip. Decided to sit in a hunting blind for awhile. Was walking toward the blind and saw a big black hog. Wind was in my favor and i put a stalk on her. At a distance of about 30 yards i put a .54 caliber patched round ball in her ear.
This sow weighed about 275 pounds and was very fat. She was pregnant with three pigs.
On Tuesday it took me over three hours to find a 150 pound sow that ran off after being shot with a .50 caliber 320 grain Maxi-Ball. She had bled to death internally and fallen about 350 yards from where she was shot.
