Made 25 lbs of sausage with my best friend out of the pieces of 2 boars (European) we shot on Monday. Mine was with one of Daniel's 350gr .405 Win. bullets shot at all of about 20 ft. - yes, that's FEET!
We were at Jerry Rushing's Chestnut Hunting Lodge. I was in a ground blind on a road and that pig came ambling and snorting and sniffing up the road, only presenting a frontal shot. He literally sniffed at the door to my blind, if I had my Blackhawk I could have put a round through the top of his head. He ambled on and at about 20 feet turned partially sideways. I put one in his heart and he literally dropped on his belly as the blood pumped out of his wound for about six inches. He kicked a couple times and died. Of the four of us hunting I had the only one shot kill, although two others used a second shot to anchor their boar.
Tomorrow I fire up the smoker to smoke the hams and barbeque one shoulder and what's left of the other.
