wow, I would not have wanted to be the guy falling down the hill with that boar...you better really trust your hunting buddies if you are going to stalk a hog.

this is the back story I am told about this video - pretty amazing no one was killed (by bullets, not the boar)...

Let me first start out this email with no one will believe this story
except for one fact, we have it all on VIDEO. Everyone knows that I love to
hunt wild boar on our ranch with family and friends. We have many stories of
how these pigs must be respected. There are stories of pigs attacking
individuals after being shot multiple times and living beyond what any
body could handle. Many call these old fishing stories. Well, there is a new
champion in the "you wont believe what happened out on the ranch
this weekend" contest. Here are the highlights and then enjoy the video.
 
1. A group of my friends go out to see if they can get a pig at dawn.
There are none to be found. Then, in the daylight, they spot a 250lb
boar about 300-400 yards away up on a hill. One of the guys has a 300 Winmag (big caliber) and takes a lucky shot and low and behold, hits this pig.
He shoots a second time and hits it again. It rolls down the hill and all
believed it for dead.
 
2. Several of the guys (the three who used to think they were tough
guys) go up on the hill to claim their trophy and next weeks dinner. As they
are searching, the pig sees them and starts to come after the first guy. He
is too close and can not get a sight picture in his scope. The pig, makes
eye contact, and charges. Feet apart, Hunter #2, armed only with a .45 cal
pistol, steps up and unloads 5 rounds at the hog. Luckily he is a good
shot and the pig, just about to gore hunter #1, is hit multiple times. Hunter
#1 and the pig tumble down the hill. All the while, hunter #1 is trying to
avoid being wrapped up with the pig.
 
3. After 2 rifle and 5 pistol rounds later, the pig must be dead. It is
not. The pig is now broad side to the camera man, Mr. Parker "I always
get the picture" Hathaway. Although quite far away, just to be safe, he has
another shooter take a shot with a 30-06. He hits the devil pig twice,
and again, it goes down all believing that it is dead.
 
4. They find the pig which is still alive and very pissed off. They
shoot him 3 more times with a high powered rifle and down it goes, appearing
to be dead again.
 
5. As our 3 hunters are looking for the pig, they can't believe what
they hear. The pig is chomping his tusks in a loud pissed off fashion
with the sound echoing throughout the canyon.
 
6. After a few moments, the chomping stops and being the brave hunters
that they are, they wait for a while to let that pig die. They finally
recover the hog which has the widest tusks that they have ever seen.
 
So, how is that for a story? Well, now you can watch the first charge
and get a feeling for just how crazy it can get out there.

Hunt Hard. Fish Smart. Explore Texas.

That is an amazing story and help to explain just what was going on in the video.

Having viewed this clip before I am very grateful for the excellent commentary which has made it much more interesting.  Glad to make your acquaintance, Jason !

Always Astride!

I have watched this over and over and the commentary sure helps. I never could tell about the rifle shots.

That was a great video would have loved to seen the whole footage.....

Interesting story. What happened to the rest of the video? Will you be putting it on Texas hunt fish? Next time try some AR-15's in 450 Bushmaster or 458 Socom or 50 Bewolf. Or a Remington model 7400 in 35 Whelen. Please post the rest of the video!

Maybe the hog had on a bullet-proof vest!?

Next time try a 460 Weatherby Magnum or a 475 A&M Magnum!!

Where's the rest of this video? Where is your ranch at? I.d like to try some shooting too!
