The second HOGG looks like a real brawler!

Nice guns (and hogs) Bob.
Do your dogs scent track them? Are you running EPs or Setters or GSPs?
I have taken a couple of much smaller hogs while out quail hunting. One with an ounce of 7-1/2s into the side of his head at 10 feet, one at 30 yards with double ought buck. I try to carry a couple of cartridges of double ought buck in my hip pocket. The one I killed with 7-1/2s was right after a big boar had chased my 30 pound French Brittany over a hill.

Mike,
2 GSPs and an English Setter. They track and when working together can make some groups of pigs circle up with boars on the outside to deal with the dogs. I don't like their attraction to the pigs. It is dangerous for the dogs. 2 years ago my Setter was gored. Not bad but could have been. Didn't change her nor did two serious encounters with porcupines.
I run a GPS on the Setter and she tends to worry me a lot since she doesn't give up on those pigs.

Yeah, I don't kill porcuipines or hogs anymore. Finally occured to me my dogs would start hunting them. When I run into them now I start yelling for the dogs and trotting off in the opposite direction. Only one of my dogs has hog hunting experience now. The others have never seen a hog killed.
Best,
Mike

Mike and George,
I'm not sure your theory is correct. I know many bird dog and field trialers who don't shoot anything and their dogs love the "trash".

My Drathaars always loved fur. Cows, deer, cats, etc. I now run 4 Setters, and they sometimes show interest in deer and bunnies. A tickle with the TriTronics usually clears their head. I would have to set it to 6 for some of the wirehairs. How are those pigs for eating?

Fred,
Pigs 100lbs and less are great!!! The big ones I don't like.
