Hog hunting experience and questions...

[DigMe]

Here are pics from our last outing 2 weeks ago. This was the first and biggest one we got. My buddy shot it with my Remington 870 3" 000 buck. The wounds you see are the exit wounds as he shot it on the pig's left side. Certainly not the biggest one we've ever bagged out there but not too bad.

Here's the second one we got. Again this friend was also borrowing my Remington 870 w/ 3" loads but this was the next day. He shot this out of a herd and I was kind of dissappointed that out of some of the bigguns in that herd he got this runt but it was his first time hunting and I think he did the new hunter thing of just shooting into the middle of the herd instead of picking one out and placing a shot.

And speaking of runts...

I spooked this little gal while we were looking for the third pig so we could take a picture of it (we ran out of time though and never got the picture). She took off running and I shot her through the back with my Blackhawk. The bullet exited her stomach and possibly snapped spinal cord or broke a leg because she stopped running 25 yards away and started dragging her back legs. Meanwhile I had shot on an already fired case because my cylinder had gotten spun around somehow. I finally got to a live round and finished her with a shot to the head at ~25yds that exited her forehead. You can see both exit wounds in the photo.
