[QUOTE="scpaul, post: 1135923, member: 76393"] I keep hearing all of these stories about hogs and #ell yes they are dangerous. I've personally had my but put in a tree on 3 different occasions. A sow that has a couple of litters feeding around can be very patient and she won't forget about you. I'm repeating myself, but if you want to hunt some BIG hogs, find a way to hunt Ga. or S.C. and especially the drainage to the Savannah River. The drainage out to about 100 miles has some good ones. If you're lucky/un-lucky you may see one around 500lbs. They do exist. Unless you are in a sturdy stand don't shoot one by yourself. This year we had so much rain (floods) that the farmers, especially the p-nut farmers couldn't get into their fields to harvest. So the hogs are going to be well fed this year, and they grow p-nuts everywhere in the Savannah River drainage. You do realize that they can have 3 litters every 13 months. Apparently they can have multiple pregnancies. I killed one a few years (8 - 10) ago that the cutters were worn down until the ends of them was the diameter of your little finger tip cut off at a 45* angle and still about 4 inchs long after they broke off at the gum (pliers and beer). Take my word for it, don't trail one into a thicket where you can't stand up (read RUN!). They talked me into that one time, luckily that hog had the decency to have expired before I got there. I still put a 460 S & W about 365 gr. LFN in his forehead from about 30 yards, there wasn't much of the back of his skull left. Y'all have fun, be careful, don't want to read about you, and have fun. Paul :D P.S. A short barreled 3 1/2 in. 000 Buck works real good too (15 or 18 pellets) [/QUOTE]
