I had game camera pics of a group of hogs coming in between 7 and 8 in the evening. I got in the blind with plenty of time to spare. Sure enough they showed up. I picked the largest hog in the group. It was quartering towards me. It was nervous and acted like it didn’t want to stay. I didn’t give it a chance to leave. I took the shot with my Savage Stealth 6.5 Creedmoor with Winchester 125gr Deer Season XP. The sow raised up on her hind legs when I hit her and than ran off. She ran about 20 yards dragging her guts! This is how I found her. Crazy tuff hog.

What ever it takes as long as there is a dead hog.
Good job

Wow!!!

I shot a big sow on the run a while back. She ran about 40 yards, when I walked up on her she had an unborn piglet hanging out of the exit hole.

This game camera picture shows this pig running off dragging her guts.

If you shoot an animal like a hog and don't cripple it, chances are it is going to try to run away, be it with guts hanging out, piglets, a chunk of lung, or whatever. I don't think they know to do anything else except to try to get away from what is hurting them.

Self-cleaning!

Very tuff critters.
