Love the old school shooting iron.
Excellent shooting, and hopefully you can turn those porkers into some good eating.

that big boar came out of brush 20 ft from me poppin his teeth.. I had ol Bertha on 1/2 cock,knees knocking, heart pounding so hard, I cocked the gun and he turned back the way he came and disapeared.... took me over an hour to find him again and then it was at 100 yds.
 he was trotting along and Pow!! Black Powder makes a lot of smoke!! I stepped to right 10 steps and he was on his back doin his death dance!!! again Adrenilin was a kickin in!!! had to set down and get my Poop in a Group!!hehehe
 The sausage and chops were Excellent!! My Nephew paid for my Hunt, skinned him, processed him and gave me a 45 long colt taurus single action revolver..... talk about A good kid

There ain't nothing like the rush that comes from being in thick brush with hogs around.   And once you hear those tusks "popping" you will never forget it. 

Good shooting.
