What an indigestion of pig shooting!
Thank you Giorgio, but we took none to eat. I don't like eating pork from the west, as it may be diseased, we had no refrigeration out there and the daytime temperature was 30deg C.
I am green of envy. A wonderful booty,you made,and with a wonderful obsolete rifle, and a caliber for connaisseurs  .
It certainly is a good hunting calibre. Would cover everything we have here in Australia. Here is picture of the round next to a .458 Win Mag.

They look like domestic animals turned wild,or a mixture of wild boars and pigs.
Feral pigs, here in Australia are all colours, from Jett black to White and are descended from the original Captain Cook release, mixed with all types of domestic pigs.
They offer wonderful hunting. Indeed they do!
How do you hunt them ,driving them with hounds or stalking them?ÂÂ
Some hunters use dogs, to find and hold the pigs, but I hunt them on foot, with the aid of a trail bike. We ride around the property, till we either see pigs, or a likely pig place, then stalk them.
Our boars hide in the of the thickest thorns all day ,they go out at night ,to feed in the darkest hours.They must be moved by the hounds,and they run ,how fast they go.
Our pigs are mostly nocturnal, but on an overcast day, they are out feeding.
I am missing a lot of them black hairy rockets.
Because our pigs are Feral, they can be hunted all year round. Endless fun.
They are very seldom seen in the open ,at least during the hunting season.ÂÂ
