Boar over 200 pounds wouldn't taste good at all. I like the 100 lbs porkers in my fridge.

Anyone ever shot a 500 s&w before? I have and it makes the 44 mag look like a pop gun. We were shooting bowling pins and a 500 will make a clean hole all the way threw a pin.

Yeah, I shot a 500 S&W. Not at all impressed by the ugly ill handling POS. For the price, give me a Dan Wesson 445 SuperMag (I know, not as powerful), or a Freedom Arms 454 Casull (again, not as powerful). Both shoot better due to better design. If I want a 50 caliber handgun, it'll be a Linebaugh or a Bowen, either a 500 Linebaugh, or a 500 Linebaugh Maximum (if I can find the frame).

The 500 S&W kicks because it has the bore too far above the grip. That's why it's as ugly as homemade sin, too.

And my Dan Wesson 44 Magnum with hard cast or jacketed 300 grain bullets will go all the way through a bowling pin. Or a 6x6 piece of cured oak.

Ya the 500 is a pos if you ask me..

We shoot bowling pins about once a month. I have never witness a bullet make a clean hole in a free standing pin but the 500 will do it. The .44 will eat a pin but even with man killer hand loads will not do the damage that the 500 does.

Did you see the father and son on tv last night? For a 3 hour stalk they must have been carted out with the pig our it was one slow bellybutton pig they were tracking.

Fred's saga won't be complete until immortalized on The Simpsons or King of the Hill.

150 acres high fenced in my book is a canned hunt.

A canned hunt is when the damned thing is either tied up, or in a cage, and you just walk up to it and shoot it. Killing a hand reared animal is in no way hunting. Fat kid with a pistol? Nah...

My two uncles once bought a lion from a circus so they could let it go on their ranch and hunt it down. They got all ready to shoot it as we opened the crate and it just stayed inside. My uncles decided it was not a good way to hunt and we bought some lion chow and let it loose in the corn feild.
