Around Christmas, I posted about my new DW Bruin 10mm. It was kind of an impulse buy - just wanted to see what the 10mm fuss is all about.
Well, I've long wanted to try taking a hog with a handgun, and this afternoon the opportunity presented itself:
Took this 140 lb sow. Not a long shot, at only a little over 20 yards, but she was running, so I was pleased with the head shot. First time I've hunted with a pistol.
There's a lot of good pork there, and the Bruin was certainly up to the task! I fully intend to hunt pigs with it again.
Regards,
Jim

I may have to try a Bruin! Been hunting hogs with the SuperMag for 2-3 years now
I've been intending for about 40 years to hunt pigs with my 8" M44, but just never did get around to it. I've taken plenty of hogs with a .30-30, but this one is the first with a handgun. I've had the Bruin for 4 months, and it's already bagged me a pig! It is one fine pistol!

As I type this, the backstrap is cooking. "Range" report to follow!

Well, I misspoke! Mrs. kW3 decided not to cook the pork on Friday after all. She baked the backstrap with some light seasoning for dinner yesterday.
I figured that the sow would be good eating, due to the (relatively) small size, and the time of year. I was right! It was outstanding! No trace of "gamey" smell or taste at all.
BIL and I are planning our next hunt, but it probably won't be until Fall.
