Mine was in 1992, Visting a friend in south Florida. Decided to go chasing some hogs with dogs. Had a Colt 1911 with Black Talon 230g. Ran with the dogs thru the swamps. Dogs corned one in a Palmetto thicket, One between the eyes on a big sow. Guides were impressed. Ran some more and shot a boar running across the road near dark dropped him on second shot. I was done running thru 2 foot of swamp water. Been hooked ever since! Now I use revolvers.
