Took a hunting buddy of mine down to central Texas where I have been doing hog control on a ranch for the last several weeks. This bruiser appeared just before sun down and we had it down by twilight after a round about stalk through the oats field to get a shooting solution.
Checking out the wounds and video afterwards, my buddy's first shot appears to have gone through the hog's boiler room area nicely and certainly would have been fatal in the very near future, but the hog ran. We landed at least 5 more shots on him before the last shot clipped his head and he dropped. Even then, he was still breathing and blinking and had to be finished off with a pistol.
The landowner asked hog big he was and how we determined weight in the field (heart girth estimate), then had us bring the hog up to the house where we confirmed the weight on a scale.
Later, we came across a piglet sounder from which the adults had been taken previously.
