[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1243876, member: 30902"] In 95 I was guiding a hunt about 15 miles east of town here with a wonderful newly retired couple from Chicago. The man had been a partner in the world's largest accounting firm and they had not had a lot of vacation time during his working years so they were basically scratching off their "bucket list" which had been accumulated over 30 some odd years. One of the dogs had disappeared for a few minutes and I suggested he head over in that direction and see if the dog was on point. He quickly dropped out of sight in the draw and a few seconds later he came screaming back out of the daw minus his shotgun obviously in a panic. I hollered "what wrong" and without slowing down he managed to get out "It's a ****** Rhino".... . About that time comes a huge boar with a dog in pursuit right behind him which the other dogs rapidly jumped in on. I then always carried a 12g, a .44mag, and slugs for the shotgun with me and after a few seconds discussion gave the man my shotgun loaded with slugs and while the dogs had him bayed up he was able to get two solid hits in the shoulder which put him down immediately from about 10 yds out. That boar weighed just over 600lbs and it took us a tractor to get him loaded on a flatbed pickup. In all my years of guiding that hunt stands out as one of the top 5 for pure comedy. [/QUOTE]
