While that’s probably true, I had a charging feral hog soak up 7 rounds of 9mm on the way to collapsing at my feet. And he was only about a buck fitty.
I now carry a 10mm stuffed with Buffalo Bore. Not sure how many of those a pissed off bear can handle, but it’s a verified one shot stopper on...
We did the first time. They said most bites are dry, but even if it’s a live bite, unless the copperhead hits a major blood vessel it’s usually just a waiting game.
The rattlers and cottonmouths are a very different matter.
Benadryl doesn’t help the symptoms; it’s just to calm her.
Mine takes one to the snout on our ranch every year. She climbs me like a jungle gym at avoidance training, but every damn summer she slinks in with her nose as big as a Folgers can and lies down on the couch panting.
The swelling drops to her neck the next day and then disappears.
So far...
Hogs are predominantly nocturnal feeders in areas with hunting pressure. Sunrise and sunset are the best time to catch them at feeders without lights. With lights, it’s game on.

NightHogs in Seguin does a great job of getting you on hogs at night with excellent equipment. It’s fun to walk up on unsuspecting pigs with night vision, and these guys have the system down.
Seguin is south of Austin, and you can hit Blacks in Lockhart for some great BBQ.
He’s done 3 for me. I’ve never put a scale on them. It took all 3 a creepy, gritty, hard pull to a very comfortable glass straw snap. All 3 rifles are deer slayers now.
If you Call, ask for AJ. He’s the owner and a very nice gentleman.
I can put a scale on one sometime tomorrow if you’d like.
