Wild Boar Video - .45acp during charge

[NullSyndrome]

This video is graphic, so be forwarned.

If it is a repost, I apologize.

Apparently the boar was shot with a high power rifle but survived and comes at the hunter, who draws his .45acp.

Tough buggers aren't they?

I'm thinking a .44 mag would have been in order.

This, kiddies, is how REAL bacon gets made.

9 rounds of 45acp, broken back leg, and that piece of bacon is still kicking...
Impressive!!

 

[Fishersjohn48]

The .45 is no defense...

WOW

It is amazing anything could withstand that many rounds from point blank range. Not sure why the high powered rifle was not used for a second or third shot

I was wondering the same thing, but you don't usually get the whole story with videos like this. I think I would much rather carry a .44 mag as backup when hog hunting after seeing this.

Why wouldn't they try to finish it off while it was thrashing on the ground? boo.

I've seen Uncle Ted(Nugent) dump about half a mag of 10mm into one to stop it from being pissed about the arrow sticking out of it's side. I rarely leave the house without a .45 auto, but for hogs, I'd go big or go home. 44 mag minimum for me.

Strange. Link seems to be broken already, but it is still on the website and can be viewed there.

That might work.

The last shot tells it all Just pulling the triger and burning powder with no idea where to place the shots to be effective

We've got these hogs on the farm in TN. Shot placement is crucial to a quick kill.
I always shot high rear shoulder shots. Bow only and seldom had to follow up or ever use a back up.
OF course I always had a tree close by I could shimmy up quick.

I did some ground hunting for boar about 20-25 years ago in TN at Tellico Junction. Used a .45ACP. It can get exciting if you don't break the shoulder or get an instant kill. Keeping a climbable tree close is good advice.

Followed the link to the page. Description on the page, "Shot with Colt Combat Elite .45 APC". Wow! Shot him with an APC and he still kept coming?

 

[Hookeye]

Wonder what bullet/load he was using.

 

[whackmaster66]

Makes me wanta go out and bacon hunt very soon

 

[Goodcat]

Wonder what bullet/load he was using.

Probably HPs. But, was he OC? Maybe the boar charged him because he was open carrying and not so much because of the first high powered rifle shot.

 

[jLr]

Wow. That is unbelievable... He should have used a 9mm.

 

[buckstopshere]

Shot placement fail all over the place but great video and now he's got bacon in the freezer.

That hog was a warrior! The hunter should be proud to have taken such a fine animal.

I went to the same place back in 1977 I was using my 444marlin, all you need after that is a sharp knife.

I want to go hog hunting, sounds like fun to me.
