Went stalking around 9 am on Sunday after seeing a big boar the evening before, and after getting deep, deep into the thickness and turning myself around in circles, I finally came up on a sow with piglets in some thick briar. She of course smelled me and took off, so I chased them down and tried to cut them off to get a shot with my 00. After thinking they had me beat, I headed back in the direction I came from and they crossed right in front of me after 20 yards or so. This was one of the biggest sows I've ever seen in person, and she took off running when she saw me, but not before I peppered her with some buckshot. Her little ones weren't so lucky and I even tagged one with the Glock before it was all over. I skinned them whole and am going to have some pulled pork tacos this week I sure hope their mom dies before she can breed again...they've torn up our feeders so bad! They're even trying to dig up the posts we set in the ground around our feeders...

How far away from her were you when you "peppered her" with buckshot? That stuff is no joke, so if you were anywhere within 50 yards, I'd guess she's already dead.

X2 on I hope and bet she is already dead.
I feel for you, on our last set of pictures from our place it looks like every sow in the county just dropped a litter and are living under our feeders. We need to do some hunting.
It's hell eatin em live

I was about 30 yards away..I've shot a boar that weighed 150# at 20 yards with 00 and picked it out of his skin while cleaning. They have some thick, thick hide. I wish I could've hit her in the head but wasn't expecting her to run like that. I hope she doesn't make it long. These pics are nothing compared to what they've done to other feeders. One of them they completely broke the legs off, bent them in half and ate through the plastic barrel. It looked like a bomb went off under the feeder.

If you get one buckshot in the gut she will die. That is their Achilles heal.
