Bruin vs. Hog

[Kilowatt3]

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)

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.
