Warthog
13 yrs old then.......
As my grandmother and me were leaving the farm, saw an injured warthog boar.....having problems walking......was on its front knees as if grazing.
Got out and approached to see what the problem was......luckily took the 30-06 with and was ready.
About 10 yards away the boar came for me on its knees.........I couldn't believe how fast he was moving.
I was a good shot then....headshot at very, very close range.
Bushpig
Hunting them at night in the maize-fields by listening and walking them up.
Using my S&W 460 XVR
Came too close to a sounder resting....piglets started squeeling....boar took exception to my presence and came at me through the maize....
I remember thinking that I had my digits all mixed up.....460 should have been the 416 at that moment.
Usain Bolt would not have caught me.....
[ the farmer did mention later that it looked as if a Brahman bull went through his maize..]
