[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1338033, member: 711"] Been charged once, in very low light. Scard the stuffin' out of me. Missed, and the hog ran away, doing the serpentine routine (if you haven't seen "The Inlaws," you simply must). He waited for me on the lane back to the cabin, but left as I raised my .44 Redhawk. Never saw him again, but I still watch for him. Probably about 300 pounds of boar. I use 300 grain CorBon bullets for that application. Shot placement in bad light and/or lots of movement and lots of excitement (fear!) isn't as critical with that round. CB edit: ezbake, just read your post. Monday I was talking with a taxidermist who told me he took a bunch of 9mm bullets from under the skin of a big boar somebody had tried to finish off with his pistol. He said that if those had been used on a healthy hog, the shooter would have been hogfeed. I think you might consider a light, easy to carry big bore of some kind as a defensive weapon. CB [/QUOTE]
