Nah, the dangerous game in Africa is too rich for my knuckle dragging blood. Only cows I've ever killed were with 12ga to the head for butchering. Even saw one killed with a .380 ACP to the head as well. As much as I hate the .380 ACP........brains are brains.

Pigs? I eradicate them for farmers and ranchers.. Killed a few.

Mostly with small caliber rifles like .223/6x45/.243 with some .308 in there to change things up. Mostly at night. The handgun and archery for pigs is when I have the chance actually do it for play as opposed to work. Which isn't as often as I'd like.

Hell, I've used knives, tire irons, and vehicles to kill them.

I don't post them all as this is a handgun forum and most I just leave laying in the field or haul to the brush. It's work.......but somebody's gotta do it. Twist.....my.....arm. Ha!

:-)

I've killed some big ones. I've killed some small ones. But, if I don't weigh them, I don't exaggerate.

The poster referenced hogs with the XTP and that's what I spoke of in regards to.

I've got a little experience with how they die and what it takes.

I can only speak from what I know and I know medium game of 500 pounds and under. Above that and it's all you guys.
