Was doing some plumbing n cutting the grass on our corporate hc out of my companies 100,000 acres that im also caretaker n pasture rider as well as forester. I got through cuttin grass n went to check on a oil well they puttin on us to see if workin or just left gate open.they were workin so i rode on down where could see up pipeline n hogs were all on it about 700 away so i drove around on another rd n parked truck n stalked them about 200yds n got up on them n long grsss. Prob have red bugs!!(chiggars) as waste deep bahayia in shorts!! Eased up n was watching some then couole more popped out to the right n i let haer have it in shoulder n broke spine as well. 25gr 3f under a lee conical. Now to go clean it! I got a pair of those revolvers here on the forum a year or so ago nhsve only shot the one even they are a matched pair with same grips n trigger/action job.

I hate those chiggers.

 

[2 shots]

very nice

 

[cynthialee]

spiffy!
I wouldn't have the nerve to pot a pig with just a .36, so good going.

Hang it for a week, then brine it for 3 days and roast it up.

Its in the cooler on ice, yes it sure is nice to get to hunt n trap on the clock!! I caught 22 beaver last month on clock!!

it went middle of shoulder, broke shoulder n spine n was in the neck meat. For some reason only had a 22 on me n was debating on running home 30 min tound trip n they prob be gone or usng the 36. Which it shoots right to point of aim n ive killed pugs with smaller pistols so i gave her a go

I thought that a CHIGGER was a very small insect that bites? at least in the east is what we call them?

That's what I was talking about. The OP mentioned in his post.
Don't care much for hogs either. They've done a lot of damage to my property.

 

[Cherrybow]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. I would not have thought a 36 would be sufficient enough. Well done

That's a nice sized porker for the smoker. I have killed more than one feral hog with a 22. I bought a Rem 1858 44 just for hogs, but haven't hunted with it yet. Hogs aren't the Fire Breathing Dragons the internet has turned them into, IMHO.

Congrats on a great shot and ridding the world of those pest.

Pretty much it is where you put the bullet rather than how big the bullet is.

What part of planet earth are you in?

Nice pig! Sounds like a dream job!

A good buddy of mine who recently passed away served for a time in the early 1970s as a Bristol, Virginia policeman during his long and varied career. He carried a .36 cap and ball revolver as his service weapon.

That is a fact! Reference Mr. Hickock's .36 cal revolver shot at 75 yards in the confrontation with Mr. Tuttle in Springfield, Mo, back in the day...
