510 lb Wild Pig

[sum1]

Soooo I was out looking for Grouse and Rabbits today in Western Manitoba and I ended up shooting a 510 lb wild pig with my 17 HMR. Pictures to follow in a few.

Some of the rooting around I noticed before I spotted the pig

Wow! Quite the beast and shot with a .17 HMR none the less! Congrats

BACON!

Nice pig. Let me know if you've got some pictures of what the 17HMR did, I've been curious about that cartridge for a while.

There was one hole behind the front leg that went into the organs and about 5 more in the head (A few extra I was afraid to walk up to it) I was using 20 grain FMJ's my preferred round for rabbits and grouse the vmax bullets tend to ruin lots of meat.

OK, that is awesome. Great work. So much for the "what good is a 17HMR" argument.

Good pics I thought it looks more domesticated figuring it may be more black than white ....

Good job, though there's not much "wild" in that one. You got a Hutterite colony nearby? Looks like maybe one of their escapees.
