Feral Hog - Patagonia
Last week I went hog hunting in Central Patagonia.
I didn't get any, but one week earlier, these guys got this:
This bad boy killed two dogs and wounded one more before going down for good.
Weight?: 270Kg = 595 Lb
I'm hoping for one a little bigger next time I go down there.

Hogs like that are the reason you are always advised to "Use Enough Gun".
So.........what gun were you toting?"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." (Ronald Reagan)

Hi there PJ!. You're most right, as usual. You cannot be under gunned when looking for these things.

wow... nice hog!.. where can I find some info about huntin down there?.. have passport.. will travel
However complicated the issues becomes it comes down to one simple question. Which is more important to you Life or Liberty? I've made my decision long ago.
"Is life so sweet or peace so dear; as to be paid for at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or give me Death." Patrick Henry
