The hog was a close range shot ...

I'd say 18 inches from the muzzle of the .41 ...

I was standing in weeds and grass higher than my waist, trying to get a picture of some pigs running past about 50 or 60 yards out. All I could see was tails and ears once in awhile. I heard something in front of me and looked through the viewfinder to see a pig running right at me. Maybe 8 feet away? I snapped a picture, pulled the .41 from the shoulder holster and shot the pig directly in the top of the head, pointing the gun almost straight down, as it was a foot or two from me.

here's the pig coming at me
