The Ol' G-Hogs have gotten pretty scarce around here. I've shot a lot of them over the years.
I saw this one in the barnyard twice earlier this summer but this morning was the first time he hung around long enough for me to get the .25 SynRod and get a shot off.
You know you made a good shot when they just collapse right where they stood and don't even wiggle!
Got him with my .25 SynRod at about 45yds, shooting the 30gr. H&N slugs at about 900fps.

Nice shot I like that when it happens
I recently bought some .22 H&N slugs to test, H&N kinda shot themselves in the foot with the Pile Driver, and rabbit magnum, so I had to see for myself if these did deliver, and yes they do
