[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1243041, member: 711"] One hog, one gun. Makes sense to me. However, on my lease, there are dozens of them. I have only been charged once, and that was during deer archery season. If you are comfortable in such an environment, go with God. I am not. You are operating from the premise that everything will go as planned. Sometimes it doesn't, and that's when backups become worth the trouble. A couple of years ago a friend of mine left his rifle at his stand and went to "relieve himself." No handgun. He spent four hours in a tiny little tree hoping four big boars would go away. The tree finally broke and he fell into the middle of them. It scared them and they left, allowing him to get back to his stand and his rifle. <from Dennishoddy> Holy Crap! Is there anything left?? Dennis, the .375 does lots less damage than smaller, higher velocity rounds. You can use the meat right up to the hole, even with deer. The 300 grain soft point expands a little, gives immediate knockdown, and leaves a hole through and through. At about 2400 fps it plows through whatever it hits, including bone. Most Africa rifles for really big game have similarly slow big bullets. My 25-06 does lots more tissue damage. [/QUOTE]
