    I can see an angled shot being deflected into a hard surface that would then ricochet back at the shooter. It says shooter was hit in the jaw and had to have it wired shut. Pretty sure that means a whole lot of energy was spent before the bullet got back.

    Damage from burrowing I get. Here in Michigan it is woodchucks aka ground hogs. Livestock falls into burrow openings, barns fall into burrows. Not making that up, had a friend who had the floor of the hay wagon bay crack. Burrows had excavated so much dirt from under the foundations that the floor joists of logs cracked. His process was use a .22 for a body shot when he saw them out in the field, they would scoot down the closest burrows and self bury. Now if they are in your back yard they may have a burrow under your shed or house where decomposing critters are not welcome so shoot them further out! It ain't like they are fast.

    Would they make good hog bait?
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    Anything is good hog bait. Even another hog.

    Had a buddy that would trap them.
    A few times he run the trap and there would be 2-3 live hogs, and a spare dead one--- half eaten.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    Well, I can personally attest to the efficacy of numerous rounds for the ole 'dilly pig. First of all, a lead pipe is NOT advisable except under the most extreme of circumstances, a boat paddle works much better. A suppressed 22 in the middle of the night can make very quick work with proper shot placement and won't wake anyone up (very important detail with a toddler in the house). A 44/40 with a 200 grain Hornady XTP is brutal. 44 Magnum with the 240 grain XTP will make it look like a blown out tire. A 243 with a 55 grain Ballistic tip at 4K fps will blow a soft ball size hole in it and scatter it over several yards in all directions. A Kenworth turns it to a greasy spot in the road.

    A .410 with #6 or bigger will do just fine within 10 yards, prefer #4 shot. Doesn't make a huge mess, they tend to not "leak" so bad. I personally prefer the 22.
    Lead, brass, and copper are the real precious metals.

    Do it once, or know someone who did. Or both.
