[QUOTE="Shtmagnet, post: 2143306, member: 117491"] That one was shot with a 30.06 using a 150 gr. SP bullet. We were hunting for Black Tail Deer. The bullet hit its armor and came apart. I did not realize it at the time but the bullet did not penetrate at all. Only broke a few ribs and knocked the pig out. I had just had knee surgery 2 weeks before so I could not get out of the Jeep. I asked my son to shoot it in the head with my 357. The pig started to get up as we approached. Two more shots to the head with the pistol and he finally died. That was the biggest one I ever shot but I have seen bigger. The ranch we hunted was over run with pigs. We could shoot them almost every day we hunted if we wanted. When we were deer hunting. I wouldn’t let my son shoot pigs until the end of the deer season because I got so tired of eating them. Friends would give me pig tags as a trade for pigs. Great fun but after shooting so many it gets old. I hate cleaning them. [/QUOTE]
