They were trapped in a feeder pen, took me 12 rounds to kill them. I had fun Last edited by hanco; 10/25/22.

They'll be fodder for the 99s if/when they hit the area. Last edited by zcm82; 10/26/22. Reason: addition

I don’t particularly like killing pen pigs, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I caught a sow with 13 pups, 8 were females. Those 8 plus Mom would have piglets on the ground in a year.

Still sort of contemplating trying to track one down of some model someday, moreso now that it's a kosher deer cartridge here.

I've seen 32 Special do a number on quite a few deer firsthand, but not the more sedate 32-40. It punches through pigs, it'll go through a deer... good enough for me 😁
