If you're a hog in down under (Australia) you don’t want to run into these hunters armed with .375 and .416 Rigby rifles.
Just like in the United States, in the land under they have a huge population of feral hogs. Yes, it is a problem over there as well.
If you’re out hunting, there are chances you’ll run into hogs in the northern territory.
So here is what went down with this poor hog.
These good folks were out hunting water buffalo, which is why they were armed with these bigger calibers. (.375 and .416 Rigby)
When they came upon this feral hog, they settled in creeping up on it.
I’m sure there were some edible meat left when it was it over.
Definitely, these hunters had enough fire power to make mince meat of these hogs. (no pun intended) These hunters displayed excellent shooting skills as they were hitting these running hogs. That is no easy task. See the full footage of this hog hunt video here.

I thought you spell that with 2 ‘g’s
About $5 AUS a shot with the cheap ammo per the ad above.
Most of the feral hogs are in political office. It is still illegal to shoot them but tar & feathers are a good alternative.
After blasting a hog with one of these cannons, there probably isn’t enough left to eat.
Actually, that’s not true. The Rigby prefers 400 and 450 grain, well-constructed bullets that will go through just about anything, but don’t do an incredible amount of tissue damage. The .375 can be loaded with more conventional bullets, but it’s not a particularly fast cartridge, so tissue damage isn’t all that bad either.
Good. I always enjoyed pulled pork.
For later.
