Wild Boar Charges Hunter~ Graphic Warning

[Hitman]

And yes- a good hit from a .30-06 (or similar) HP rifle on a nice hog is indeed a beautiful thing.

That's what we've always used for the initial.

It always gets me thinking about Hunting in Africa! Could you imagine dropping a Water Buffalo!

I have not hunted hogs before, so many things about the task, I do not know.

Crews aren't necessary. With the popularity of hog hunting and this whole hog epidemic it just seems to have become a Group Sport. we always did it as a group. I mean, what Coonass likes to drink beer and kill pigs by himself!? Plus hauling it back would be a MAJOR PAIN in the ass and the back

You won't deal with cross-fire unless you are really close to them. I just gave that as one example of what can happen when you plan on getting close enough to use shotguns.

this .40 cal sure does create a much more visable impact http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PInyXzaE1ug&feature=related 4:55 if ya don't wanna watch the deer. you can just about see the round hit target . I just don't buy that being a 45. Looked like .22 with hole blood but no impact shock when bullet struck even at point blank. But to each his own.

Dude that's a perfect shot on broad-side target.

Not a pissed off Boar in full raging charge mode.

I mean the .22 MAG will do the same at close range on a still target,

Now that would be awesome!!



I wonder how hunting "Feral Brahman" would be here in the U.S.??

Now that would add a whole new vicious wrinkle to things. Talk about dangerous game..

...But I bet you'd still have airheads willing to stage a protest on their behalf...

Maybe feral hogs aren't so bad after all....

LOL!

So believing it's a pistol that doesn't exist (.22LR 1911 with internal extractor) is easier for you to accept than a .45ACp not being magical enough to stop an angry hog in one shot?

Now, it could be a 9mm or .40SW 1911 that the guy downloaded the mags on and spent hours finding a hog, wounding it and teaching it to charge at him JUST to make a video to make .45ACP look bad. Highly logical assumption and very likely the case. Or not.

I put these .45 acp projectiles into, and took them out of, wild hogs. I'm telling you, you are flat out wrong. The gun in that video is a .45



ETA: I just double checked and only 2 of those are .45 (second and fourth) The other three are .40. From the left, the first four are golden sabers and I can't remember what the last one is. The two .40 cal. golden sabers both separated from their jackets; only one jacket was recovered and I can't say for sure which core it goes with. I thought I had more recovered .45s, but maybe not.

C`Mon Mr. Logical!



I think they've just about gift wrapped your .22 argument there Mr. Kramer

They are all golden sabers except the one on the far right. see edit above.

We don't know what ammunition he was using. Could have been FMJ for all we know. Check out the recoil of his handgun vs. what a .22 1911 recoiling looks like:
(3:30 for 1-handed shooting)
vs:
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b04_1337719658
Check out the footage at 0:14-0:24.

Pay special attention to the base of each shooter's firing-hand as well as wrist/forearm and how much upward movement is caused at this point by firing.

Unless the man is limp-wristing AND limp-arming the hell out of that pistol (not likely considering that it functioned fine, and he is probably pumped up on adrenalin right about now), it sure is kicking HARD for a .22...

Also, please note, that no .22 1911 has the back of the extractor visible from the shooter's position near the slide-stop as in the .45ACP versions.

The Chiappa you mentioned:

The Kimber you mentioned:

However, the pistol in the video does have a STRONG resemblance to this one...

(Note: verticle rear cocking serrations, lack of FCS, SS frame and CS slide, etc. etc.)

Hey!

I am actually a member of St. Hubert's Rangers. Spearing hogs is a lot of fun and scary. Just, dont laugh at my tights.

We bowhunt hogs regularly throughout the year. They are TOUGH animals and you never know what is going to happen. Like any other game it's all about shot placement (and this guy didn't do very well with that at all). I have dropped a 300lb hogalmost dead in it's tracks, as well as had a 150lb sow roam around the woods for 3hrs while we trailed it. Both with the arrow in the same place. When I dressed the sow, the whole bottom half of it's heart had been sliced of by the broadhead (a passthrough). I don't know how they can do it but they do.

I always say bowhunting hogs is like hunting tanks with sharp sticks. Amazing animals.

True story:

My brother and I were on a casual hog hunt at the camp about 15 years ago. He was bow hunting and I was along for the ride, "backing him up" with a Colt Combat Elite with FMJ target rounds. At the time it was the largest caliber handgun that I owned, and I didn't feel like lugging a rifle around. We eventually came across what we would later learn was a 450 pound hog.

Chris put two arrows in it, which did little more than **** it off. We chased it down, I shot it once, it ran again and finally stopped, still standing. I put another bullet in it and it fell, still breathing. Because of it's size and a previous conversation with my bro, I figured we may end up shoulder mounting it, so I put two more rounds in it's vitals, not head. It still breathed for a while, finally died.

While we were skinning it, two of the bullets dropped out that never even penetrated its shield.

Still have the mount on my wall. Dogs hate it.

Doesn't seem too graphic to me, I thought the hog was going to get a tusk into his leg or something.

 

[themcfarland]

That hog got stunned with the next to last shot, that was awesome..
I have watched a lot of videos from cameras, and it seems the replay and replay xd , do the suppression of gun shots, sometimes the iphone will, but the flip n go style cams, get full spectrum audio, and man you can tell a difference..
