Dangerous Game in Afrika and Bear in Canada. They were both up close and very exciting hunts; but I think Wild Boar may be my favorite game to hunt. Mind you I wouldnt turn down another chance at either. Its just that Wild Boar is available to me. Its an inexpensive hunt AND who doesnt like pork when its done.

My first Hog hunt was with a T/C Contender in 44mag. I made a rookie mistake and used Hollow Point ammo (Black Talons may have made great bullets for 2 legged animals but they sucked on the big hog. They expanded too quickly and didnt penetrate deep).

Who'd have thought that Dirty Harry's cannon wouldnt be enough? The Hog took exception to being shot and decided I was in his way. That was my first charge VERY EXCITING. I dropped it at my feet; but the shot was pure instinct and Im not sure who was squealing more. Ever since then Ive been hooked.

I typically hunt from a blind in the evening and sometimes at night with Night Vision; but I really like to go out during the day on a spot/stalk. The thrill of that first charge is a rush I dont want to forget.
