I don't think that thing even had a left rear leg left to charge with. Watch it flop around when it's on the ground.
Jesus. That's why I couldn't decide what gun to take hog hunting. I only have a .308 bolt action, a 12 gauge shotty, and the AUG (for rifles). But next time I'm in TX I want to go, dammit! |

That looks interesting. Goes to show you that your ccw handgun absolutely sucks at stopping a man. That boar weighed 50-75 pounds and needed a headshot or two to take it down. 50 pounds my ass.. |

There is always a fucking wise ass on GD. Ask a simple question and get a stupid ass remark. I have been hunting for plenty of years. Never hunted hog and never hunted with a handgun. It has never taken me more than two shots to kill anything. Not to mention that it took fucking 8 shots to drop it. Dead or not it still needed 8 shots to drop it. In my book that means something is wrong. Having never hunted hog I was not willing to guess why it took 8 shots to drop it.
So.. if you are done being a wise ass, I will move along and wait for a coherent answer. Quoted: Quoted: Nine Shots and still not dead. Although you cannot count the one to the rear leg. I am a Northerner so know nothing about Hog Hunting so I am wondering if he brought enough gun to the hunt or if he was just a bad shot or if Hogs are just that tough. Or––you're not a hunter and think things die by just falling over and lying still, as in the movies. That hog was dead before the last two shots were fired. The thrashing is normal for a brain shot––for all animals––whenever the base of the brain isn't hit. Still dead though. |

He really needs a 10mm at the minimum and preferably a .44 magnum.

Sometimes they die quick, other times not so. Back leg was shredded and it still managed to close the distance PDQ.

Holy shit that is one tough SOB ! Yeah they're tough but I'd be willing to bet Mr. Shitty Hunter missed or hit on the edges with most of the .45 shots until the boar was close. He wounded the shit out of it and it bled out eventually but Dude's a tard for trying to shoot one handed while running a camera; probably why he wounded the boar instead of killing in the first place. Wonder if he was using an Encore and didn't want to drop the camera to reload. That whole video is an example of how stupid some folks can be. |

That boar makes a damn good case for carrying a double-stack sidearm. 2 words.... Shot placement. |

Obviously NOT a .45
Had it indeed been a .45, it would have instantly transformed the critter into a giant plate of bacon. |

Thank you.

meh - I've been in that situation a couple times and only had a hank of rope.
Hog hunting with guns is cheating. |
|
Cmon, you gotta kinda feel bad for the fucker.
Hes got some balls thats for sure, the pig, not the guy. He just got hit with a rifle round and hes charging the guy who shot him. Say what you want, thats a bad ass animal and deserves some respect even if you are gonna kill and eat him. |
|
The boar was charging very slowly and without a lot of coordination due to a shattered left rear leg and what looks to be a damaged right rear. If that boar had four good legs on that charge that guy would've have been in trouble due to his poor shooting.
Barbecue. |

Guys who have never been around pigs have no idea how dense they are. I used to raise a couple feeder pigs. You would piglets about 14" long. They weighed 25-30 lbs. That hog was not a 75 lb animal. Much denser than a deer.

Sometimes that's easier said than done, as they don't always hold still, and sometimes the bullet is deflected by vegetation. There's often too many variables to interfere and screw up an otherwise good shot. As feral hogs are just vermin you take whatever shot presents itself and don't worry about making a clean kill. |

Quoted: bolt action rifle? maybe thats why he is using his .45. He had plenty of time to use a bolt rifle. Certainly had enough to get his camera rolling.

I have never hunted boar but it looks to me like his charge was more of a jog. Still dangerous i am sure but not a puckerd butthole moment Your balls, they are bigger than mine. If I was in his shoes I would most likely feel different. In the video at least the boar didnt seem to be moving all that fast. |

I HATE feral hogs. They are such a nuisance here in Tejas.
I enjoyed watching that fvcker die. |

But gee, according to the 1911 guys a 45 will stop an elephant in it's tracks with just one shot

I wonder if he was running hardball in the .45. Perhaps a premium HP, like an HST or a Ranger might be in order.
If he's not going to use his rifle for a second shot, he should get an eight shot riot gun and use buck or slugs. |

I was only mentioning nonhunters will never understand how hunting is done, and what happens in the field. Youtube has been VERY bad for hunting overall, as some things are best not seen by city boys, as they have never seen anything die, and have a very unrealistic view of death from watching movies. |

Sorry, But if he hit it at 200 yds with a high power rifle he should have finished it with the rife.Fast and clean.
Unless of course he was only hunting with 1 rifle bullet(Barney Fife). Roy |

Im just wondering why is it OK to risk a marginal shot on what might be considered a "vermin" animal and let them die painfully and slowly but a trophy buck deserves the respect of a clean death. Vermin animals are destructive in various ways to humans, hence the moniker of "vermin." They are killed in any manner available due to this. You could say they "NEED" to be killed. A trophy buck is different in that it's done in a "sporting" manner which leads to recovery of the carcass, and never "needs" to be killed. The killing of a game animal is a "bonus" part of the hunt––hoped for but routinely not achieved. It is considered to be highly tragic to cause a lingering and unrecovered death of a game animal. We simply don't care if vermin suffers, however. That's just the way it is. We're not asking for support or agreement, BTW. |

Geeze. What kind of idiot goes hog hunting with anything but an M2? Even if he was using black powder he could have bought a 30 round mag for it at least......
It's just a charging hog. Why didn't he just pop up a shooting bench and slap an optic on so he could have shot it straight in the eye? It's a harmless little piggy that didn't deserve to die. This hunter should have gotten what he deserved. I could have head shot that hog at 300 yards with my P22. This guy should kill himself he's such a bad shot. Do I get a medal for following typical ArdCom fashion? |

Was that really a charge? The boar was in a fenced enclosure with no cover so running past the "hunter" was really the only avenue of escape.

If you have to go handgun 10mm to the back of the head works everytime.
