the wife's niece ( who sits with my 88 year old mother) called me this eve said the dogs were going berserk, especially my boxer that was trying to tear the fence down, she went out on the deck to see and saw this hog about 30 yards out in my back yard..
she said it was heading up the driveway towards my shop were I work,, I slipped out the back door expecting to see a 20=30 # pig like I had seen before, I should have grabbed a bow but I didn't and when I got near the driveway , sure enough their was a hog coming right at me!
all I had on me was a Kahr 40, which I had just qualified with yesterday, he cut through a narrow mowed lane over to my 100 yard archery lane, I worked my way quickly to the end of the lane and there he was about 30 yards , angled away but to much,, he turned and I thought what the heck! I took a low point of aim and fired off 1 round and to my surprise he dropped right there, started thrashing and I am thinking wow, I actually hit him with this short barreled pistol and dropped him!
it was a short lived thrill because he finally got back on his three good feet and wobbled away... I followed behind but could not get a good shot I tried a couple as he was walking through the bushes but luck did not happen..
By now I was beside my house and went in and got a more appropriate equalizer , a delta elite 10mm, I was not to worried about loosing him as there was a good blood trail.
my son showed up and we put the stalk on him with my son hitting him high in the shoulder with a 45,, it had little effect... I knew he was hit hard from the first round because he did not run at all... finally he got in some real thick bushes but I found a hole and poked a 10mm silvertip through the gap and into her head,, that ended it right there.. nice plump sow im guessing close to 200 because I weight 235
