Gil: It's not news that these animals can be agressive. I had a cat encounter about 20-years ago while hunting elk on the Wyoming border with Colorado. When hunting in certain parts of Colorado, I still carry an old Ruger flat-top .44 Magnum loaded with 300-grain pills (a favorite Montana bear load of a physician friend of mine). I assume that the Ruger would be as effective on pigs. Not wanting to pick nits, but wasn't your story about a fellow in South Carolina?
