Wade Seago shot this 820 pound wild hog 5 yards from his front porch in Samson, Alabama. The family dog, a small schnauzer alerted Seago that something was up. (Courtesy Wade Seago).
A measly .38? You need a bigger caliber my man.
I come across a lot of these where I foray for mushrooms. Once one jumped out of a thicket and scared the hell out of me. It was nearly four feet tall and probably weighed over a thousand lbs. Luckily it ran off.
