What has been one mans problem has conversely become another mans pursuit.
I decided to challenge myself by using a handgun for the hunt.
Beyond that, three decisions for gear had to be made: firearm, holster and ammunition.
Which is the best handgun pig cartridge?
However, it is something very manageable in the Springfield Armory XD-M Competition 10mm.
I made this a slow, concerted exercise and felt very confident leading into the hunt.
I positioned myself behind some tree stumps in the sparse landscape and watched Henry disappear into the gorge.
Within about five minutes of Henrys vanishing act I saw two very nervous pigs headed my way.
They paused and looked back where they had come from, about 20 yards away from me.
The pig I shot stiffened up and was in shock, but not down yet.
