While on a 30 day hunt in Mozambique back in the early '60s a companion had a bullet get deflected by some branch and ended up just barely hitting the hog low in the middle of his body.....opening up his belly.
At the time we didn't know where the warthog was hit until a bit later on his trail we found parts of his intestines on the ground. This continued all day, finding bits and pieces that were torn out by his hind feet as he ran.
He wouldn't have lasted the night but the PH and our group stayed on his trail for miles until we caught up to him standing in very thick brush. We approached to about 50' and the PH dispatched him with the client's '06.
At nearly a thousand bucks per day (at today's money) that was one very expensive warthog. But stuff like that can happen to anyone. A warthog is one tough sumabitch !!!!!!!
