Here is a little piggy I killed with my FA500 WE. Ken may have killed the first one with this caliber, but this might be the biggest.

I guess this little piggy didn't go to the market, he he.

Nice shot, at what distance? Did he/she go down in the first hit?

Shot at 32 yards. A single shot high on the shoulder, he dropped in his tracks.

Yep, that's 2 to 3 times the size of my first one with that caliber, Robert. That's a good lookin' set of grips you've got on that gun ! Congratulations,
Ken

is that a trick photograph or was that thing really that big! Ive seen some big domestics that went wild but that thing looks huge!

sixgunner · « **Reply #8 on:** May 22, 2008, 08:54:57 AM »

No tricks. This thing weighed 750lbs.

i take it that it was a domestic that had gone wild. A buddy has a pig hunting operation up here and has a huge one that was a domestic that had gone wild. No matter what it was its sure a trophy with a handgun!!!!!!

I saw the National Geographic program on HOGZILLA. Domestic pigs turn feral faster than any other domesticated animal. Their appearance changes at a dramatic rate. Whether this is a wild pig or a domestic gone wild,it is a great trophy!

Well, okay, I can't resist. But I do want all of you to know that I'm smiling as I type this, lest you think this is "sour grapes".
About 6 months ago, I e-mailed my friend sixgunner, saying that despite living in N.C., I'd never hunted in Georgia, and was interested in hunting some hogs there...did he have any idea on places he might recommend for hogs ? His answer came quickly: "NO!"

Now we know why!!!!

Congratulations, again, Robert.

I had to look a couple of times just to be certain you hadn't just bagged my ex. But yours isn't quite fat enough.
Nice animal!!!

Do you mean your Ex?

Ken, hope this makes you feel better, but I shot him in Fla. Now you didn't ask about Fla. Ha!

Well, you've got me... a man's got to know what question to ask....

Nice pig! Could you share your load?

Dave

sixgunner · « **Reply #19 on:** June 29, 2008, 09:50:06 AM »

The load is 31.0 gr H110 with a 420gr cast bullet. Don't know velocity. It was a high shoulder shot and the big guy dropped in his tracks.

Thanks for the info!
