Title: Needed a warthog
Post by: Treeman on Jun 19, 2023, 09:56 PM
I had a idea to make venison pie, and told the lities I wanted a young small pig, but only a headshot animal. The boys were on the back and we did a quick sweep of the fields, the boys passed this animal up as to far for headshot.Since I was harvesting, not hunting I was quiet happy to shoot from the bakkie.
I wanted a head shot animal

Nice one! Please enlighten us:

Which rifle and bullet? Bullet speed?

Distance and holdover?

Nice shot. Just for the record, no-one has ever referred to me as 'the man himself'. That hurts a little.
