 Had a whack em and stackem weekend culling some does and I also got this hog. Of course I missed a whopper hog that would probably go 400lbs. I also converted a new handgun hunter who took two does this weekend and his first ever handgun kills.

Cool hunt! Nothing like wack'n n stack'n hunts.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

How did you train a dead hog to hold his head up so well? I like that color, how common is it? Nice hunting Gary.

Good story as usual, nice hog! What caliber is that hogleg, and at what distance was the shot? It's a 454 Casull and the shot was from about 50 yards. We were hunting on a friends ranch. I have no idea how common this color is the big un that I missed was black.

That is a good one. They are alway fun to shoot - deer do not make the noise that pigs make when you hit them. That sound always brings a smile to my face.
Got to love those wheel guns on the big porkers
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

WTG,Gary. Spent the weekend trying to cull a few does, but didn't even see one. Glad you did.

Yes David, that gun is ported. It's not really necessary but that's how it was when I bought it. My 4 3/4 inch gun is non-ported.
