Bruin vs. Hog
 

Went on a little hog hunt this past weekend.

Took a 140 lb. sow with my new Bruin. It's the first time I've hunted with a handgun. Always figured I'd hunt hogs one of these days with my ol' DW Model 44, but it just happened that I had the Bruin on me when the opportunity arose.

The hog was running by at about 22 yards, and I was very pleased with the head shot that dropped it. The Bruin is now my hog hunting handgun of choice!

I put some pics in my album.

Based on the title I thought this was gonna be a video of a fight between a grizzly and a wild boar. LOL

Glad the pistol performed well. I am thinking of going from a 45 hogleg to a longslide 10mm for hunting (bear, hogs and deer)

Nice, it looks like a party pig. Do you pig roast that thing?

I'm in SW Louisiana - Cajun Country.

It'll get roasted, fried, stewed, baked, broiled, smoked, BBQ'd, pulled, ground, and probably prepared a few other ways!

Cajun are like Chinese. Chinese have a saying:
"We'll eat anything that flies except an airplane, and anything with four legs except a char."

I'm not quite there. I eat a lot of things most people won't but I draw the line at boiled chitlins and poule d'eau gumbo, LOL.

I can't get into the chitlins, either, but the gumbo???

Gumbo's a staple food here, and both my wife and my step-daughter are master gumbo chefs! Get it right, and it is a delicacy!

I've tried gumbo at a few places out-of-state, and very few are anywhere close to the real thing. I'm not sure where you live, but until you've had real gumbo, made by a Cajun from South Louisiana, don't assume you wouldn't like it.

[ETA: It should have a scoop of good potato salad floating in it!]

Oh I love gumbo. Duck gumbo made with file and a roux, seafood gumbo made with okra, every kind except poule d'eau gumbo. I just can't eat those coots. I tried.

Heck, coot's at least as good as marsh hen, and better than egret!

BTW - Mrs. kW3 baked the backstrap from the sow yesterday. Outstanding! No gamey taste or smell at all. Having some more of it this morning with eggs.

Moorhens (Marsh Hens) and Coots are first cousins. It's really not just coots but any fish eating duck or waterfowl I don't like.

Egrets aren't even game animals here.

Around here, the only time anything isn't a "game animal" is when there's a W&F officer around! (Not speaking for myself, but for a lot of Cajuns).
:rolleyes:
