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..

I don't know much about hogs, but I'd guess that thing was 150 pounds at LEAST.

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:

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.

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.

Coherent answer. Pistol is not a reliable one shot stopper on that size animal. Should have used a rifle and not hit it in the leg.

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.

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.

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.


Why?

If youre not concerned about a clean kill on one animal, why be concerned about a clean kill on another?

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.

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.

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.
