6mm06 PM senior Registered: 07/31/05 Posts: 9317 Loc: USA	I was looking through some old photos and videos this evening and uploaded this one of a warthog I took in Namibia in 2007. Thought it might be of some interest. We waited at a waterhole for about three hours before this one showed up. We watched several families of hogs come down to the water to drink. I passed up opportunities, waiting and hoping for a good one. We were about to leave for an evening of jackal calling when this big boy showed up. I used a .308 suppressed rifle belonging to the PH, and the shot was about 130 yards. The warthog ran about 100 yards before falling even though the shot was good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISLhK5YhKNI

Texas	Originally Posted By: parson Some of the best tasting meat I had while living in Africa Hard to visualize a warthog on a platter with an apple in it's mouth, though. ETA: Also surprisingly good eating is Zebra backstraps.
