Nice hog, loading him in the PU must have been a gut buster?

That is a good story. I've shot them similar without the same result. .357 & .44! Congrats!

I sometimes wish I had better Photo Shop skills.  It would be a different picture to switch your likeness with that of the hog.  The two of you are about the same size.

Good hog.  Lotta meat.  congrats.

Congrats on the mega hog, and it sounds like you had your favorite rifle with you which makes it even better.

Good job! Didn't you know you the .357 is too light for hogs...LOL  (:  What velocity are you getting from those and how is the accuracy?
