454 Casull hog

454 Casull hog - 06/21/2014 3:03 AM

I shot this hog as he was leaving a local ranchers hayfield. He was more than happy to see it go. The hog was at a steady trot when I shot it with my 12 inch 454 Casull Encore using a 300 grain XTP Mag. At the shot he let out a squeal and fell out of sight. I grabbed my 4 5/8 inch Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt and went after him. When I found him he was laying down looking at me, so I put a 250 grain XTP in the head. I hit him behind the shoulder and exited out this side. I guessed his weight at about 225 pounds.

Nice! I also envy your hunting opportunities for hogs, although not enough that I'd like to see any around here.
