    Y'all might not believe this but some friends and I went to get Chinese for lunch the day before the hunt, and the fortune cookie said"You will be surprised by a special opportunity on Thursday." We found the pigs on Thursday

    .40 cal Piggy

    Thanks! Load was 30 grains of homebrew black powder with a bore butter lubed t-shirt patch and .395 cast round ball. Pig dropped like a sack of bricks from the head shot...downside was the ball traveled through the back of the skull and lodged in the offside scapula. Normally, that would be a...
