Ok, before you think this is some political or ethical rant, hold on...it's neither.
My wife, daughter, and I went out on a hog hunt this afternoon. We haven't been seeing any hogs for a while, but the rancher told me today he had started seeing them again. Anyway, the first ones we actually got a shot at were a good size sow and a shoat. I let my wife shoot first, usually the largest in the herd, and I bat clean-up. She was shooting her new .243 for the first time. Anyway, she squeezed one off on the sow. I saw the sow jump at the shot, then I tried to get the shoat as he ran off, but missed. I swung back onto the sow as she ran off and noticed that my wife had gut-shot her. We tried to track her, but were unsuccessful. My wife went back to where she shot her and started yelling. When I got to her she was standing over two fetal pigs, one of which had a bullet wound on its snout. Long story short, she performed a pig abortion from about 75yds away! I've never anyone shoot the babies out of a pregnant animal before!
