Wow that looks like great fun.
Some pretty big lookin pigs there.
I bet the smaller ones are good to eat, that plus its must have a whiff of danger about it, if it gets up close n personal?.
It would make a nice little hunting trip, going to Texas for a few days Hogging,
Prolly the best chance I have at something that might bite back.
I'll have to look into that
Bob, that 450 rifle is gorgous
cheers

Franc,
There is only a bit of risk. I have only had 2 boars ever challenge me. Neither survived. They really are not dangerous game. Now, for the dogs they can be a problem. My 2 older dogs like to hunt pigs more than birds. They will actually try to herd the pigs which sometimes will circle with young and sows inside and young boars outside. Older boars are very solitary but due run with the pac sometimes. The setter has ben gored once, not serious. I like pig hunting better than deer, great fun.

Here's a hog of a different stripe, a warthog, taken with my homebuilt .303 British, September 11, 2011.

Ron,

Unless I heard it wrong, isn't the warthog the critter said to be proof that God has a sense of humor? They sure are interesting. Your home-made .303 looks very nice, I'm sure it's a rewarding feeling to take it out for a hunt. Curious, what was your choice of bullet for your hunt?

Here is a boar that I shot two weeks ago using a 1935 Greifelt Model 272 9.3X74R O/U double rifle. In contrast to Ron's African beast (above) the boar pictured below is of Polish lineage, being exported first to Canada from Poland, and then to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The weather conditions appear to be a bit of a contrast as well.





Here's the non-boar side:
