Eardley Rudman is an expert -- one of the Blaauwkrantz Rudmans.
He has night-time hunting and baiting down to an art. Great revenge for the ravage done to Angora kids and Dorper lambs (which allow those pigs to grow to giant size.)

Really cool critters! Saw a whopper boar, with a sow, on our first trip to RSA. By the time we drove out of sight, and bailed out to try a stalk, they were gone. Could have shot him from the Toyota, but that's just not my thing. Sure was cool, just to see one! What a treat. Maybe some day!

When I hunted in Zambia, I accidently killed two bush pigs with a single shot from my 300 Win Mag... We were tooling around checking lion baits when we spotted the sounder of pigs about the time they spotted us. We bailed off at a run and I shot at the largest freehand killing it and another with the pass through. Excitement turned quickly to fear of violations. The game scout and trackers smiled, laughed and slapped my back. "Thats ok bwana good nyama!"

Love hunting hogs of any flavor, my dream is a Giant Forest Hog, but here's my Bushpiggie. 300 Weatherby @ 50 yards under a full moon  ![[Linked Image]](http://www.lavikinga.com/jorge/Zimbabwe/CD2/images/020_20.jpg)

I thunk a pig was a pig? What's the difference between a bushpig & a pig?
