Just tagged my first wild pig! I was out for less then 15 minutes before this boer wandered into my path.

Very nice! Congrats!
My biggest fear is when I die, my wife will sell all my guns for what I said they cost me!     ;)

I shot him at 20 yards with my Remigton 700 in .308. I had no idea how tough these buggers are. I shot him right behind the shoulder and he still managed to take off another couple hundred yards. After I managed tracked him down, he got up and started to take off again and had to put another round in him. I can't stress enough how tough these suckers are.

That's a hog.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Here's mine from last week.  MUCH smaller, but happy for the meat.  Guided hunt on private land near San Ardo.  One shot at about 100 yards with .300 WSM dropped her in her tracks.

Congrats thats a nice hog! They are so tuff. Time and time again i have seen hogs soak up lead. My last boar i shot with a 340wby. 225 grain accubond took half his heart and he still went close to 100yards.

Maybe you need to use a little less gun or my girlfriend got real lucky on her hog. She shot a 225 lb feral hog in FL back in March, one shot from about 40 yd with a 6.5x55, 140 speer bullet, DRT. Her first ever kill. Great eating
