[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2245474, member: 10755"] I shoot until I run out of bullets! Big ones, little ones, boars and sows makes no difference to me. I mostly hunts mountain pigs, they are quite big, up to 150lbs (75kg) and are wooly! There are the odd 100kg+ pigs taken, but they are not common. Most of our southern state mountainous hogs are European blood, while the tropical northern hogs are Asian blood with longer snouts. Both are pests and I have seen 100’s of acres of farm land turned into mush from pigs overturning young crops to eat it. The last time I was out I shot a solitary sow, upon inspection, it had been caught in a snare and had chewed through it to escape. It went 70lbs (35kg) on my scales and made for some delicious leg and shoulder roasts with plenty of crackle! The mob it was in was around 30 sows, suckers and adolescent hogs, she was the biggest so I dropped her where she stood, the 180g Accubond outta my 300WM absolutely smashed her, but she got up and ran 15 odd yards and fell over dead in the creek with a loud death bellow. The 300 is a bit big for such small pigs, but dead is dead, right!? As Rut Daniels says, ‘she didn’t go 20!’ Cheers. [/QUOTE]
