Hi all I will post sme pictures when I figure out how <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I went Russian boar hunting five years ago. We went out and the guide had two tracking dogs. We had a hog on and I was the first up from our group. We ran through the swamp and thorns to where the dogs had the hog. I brought up a 30/30 and took aim as the dogs were called away. I notice something wrong and saw the barrel was muddy and the small scope knocked off from the run through the swamp. I heard the sound of the boar clacking it's tusk and it started coming toasted me. I held the rifle in my weak hand and drew my ruger 44 and got A quick front site picture and fired one shot. The hog disappeared. A guide ran up and yelled that I missed. I thought oh no, the first one up and I missed, I'll never live this down back at camp. A minute later, which seemed like eternity a guide on horse back yelled dead hog dead hog. I got it and it made it about ten feet in the brush and dropped. It was one of the best hunting trips I have ever taken. My back up to my back up 44 was a cold steel recon scout.
If any of you have the chance to go hog hunting I recommend it
Take care
