Let's See Your Pig And Pig Gun

[Jon Glajchen]

Warthog shot a while ago. Shot it almost immediately as we started our stalk and dragged him into the shade to be collected on our return. On our return we found him about 20m away from where we left him and he was severely mauled and almost gutted. I asked the tracker if perhaps it was a Hyena that had caused the injuries, he laughed and said that it was another Warthog that had mauled him after his death.

Pic is back at the camp after we cleaned him up only showing his good side!

From a post I made previously. The rifle is a custom Mauser 8x57JS.

Good hog...congrats. Nice way to hunt them. Old school open sights with a thumper!

My trusty old M77 with the tang safety in .270. She has put a bunch of whitetail and hogs down. A great woods gun, but not real accurate past 150 yds.

Dang that pig was in poor shape. Probably did it a favor.

Yes, she was skin and bones…that’s why she got Core Lokt for breakfast.

Feral hogs in the USA make the best live fire targets you could ask for. And if you are aggressive enough with the sows with piglets you get to practice stopping charges too.

I pole axed a sow coming full speed this last fall at about 7-10 yards (I got all excited and forgot to step it off exactly) with my 450/400 she chose a day when I had the wrong gun in my hands. Worked with authority.

a buddy of mine just picked this up...

he wants to stuff it full of 1/4" ball bearings, and put a cell phone trigger on it... then point it at a feeder and wait for pigs to come in lol..
