Holy crap, I didn't realize these suckers were so tough to kill.

He got back on target pretty quick.
Looking back at the caption I see it was indeed shot at 200 yards with a rifle and the follow up was with a .45. Personally, I think I would have stayed with the rifle a little longer.

I think the shooter is a total scumbag for not using enough gun to do the job. Edited to add: or, for lacking the skill to do the job.
Agreed.

I would be careful throwing around the "scumbag" label. There's more than one commenter on this thread who stated that he had to shoot a hog more than once because the round failed to penetrate.
It appears that his first shot was a glancing hit...it put a big * on the front shoulder and severed the back leg. Likely it saved the guy, as the pig couldn't close the distance fast enough.

Rack, I agree with you about 99% of the time, but I'm afraid this is one of the 1%. In this case the "scumbag" label fits. If that's the best he can do he should stay home.
What was the "high powered" rifle used for the first shot? "High powered" rifles means larger than a .22LR. In other words, meaningless. A .308 or any other hunting rifle used properly will drop a hog in his tracks. I can forgive him all of that, but watching the animal go through his death throws that long before he ran out of ammunition is unforgivable and makes him a scumbag.

My Dad taught me that you don't even let a Cock Roach suffer.
That guy was just a poor shot. [V]

Go hog hunting. Then tell me how many you get to drop on the first hit.
Oh and don't watch us dog hunting pigs either.... You wont like that.
The reason I don't hunt with dogs is I ain't got no dogs. Well, that and my legs don't hold up anymore. I ain't above shooting a deer under the pear tree either.
And there ain't a critter out there that a single well placed rifle shot won't kill.

huh
Pigs are tough and nasty. Last Feb in Florida, we hit one very similarly, first shot (about 300 yds, not me shooting btw) 7mm Win Mag about took the back ham right off. That porker took off faster than I would have thought possible on 3 legs. We chased that pig well over a mile, (got 3 more DRT during that time), but ended up with him in a shallow draw and I emptied my 45 on him and my buddy got half a magazine in on his 9 before we finally dropped the old buzzard at close range.
took 2 smart guys with a 45 and nine with brains[?] and guns to kill it..hmmmmmm....you need another hobby dumb * 7mm 45 and nine mm get another fn hobby captFun
I was thinking it was one of those .22 conversion kits.

What I think. .22 cal.

Just a few more observations after watching the video again.
9 Shots were fired in the course of the video, all from the 1911. The slide locks back after the final round.
The first 6 were "panic shots", #7 was a little more deliberate and finally stopped the charge. #8 was much more deliberate and put the boar on its side. #9 was a very deliberate attempt at a coup de grace. It appears to me that he's trying (and failing) to get a bead on the head for the last shot, but can't because the pig is flopping around so much.
My best guess is the guy wasn't carrying another mag and was trying to make his last shot count. All but the sickest people are going to be greatly disturbed by an animal grunting and thrashing in agony right at their feet. After his last shot, he quickly moves away to a safer distance. You can say he was ill-prepared, and I won't argue that, but that doesn't make his actions deliberate.
The helmet cam and high-dollar Colt 1911 does give me pause to think that this might have been someone who had no experience with hogs, or maybe hunting at all, but I don't know.
With that being said, that pistol isn't in .45acp. Looks like a .22
conversion- different top slide, no recoil, low noise, no intense impact on the pig's hide noted.
It's a .22lr if you ask me.
Hogs are very hard to kill.

Whatever the gun, it brought down the pig (after multiple shots)
There's no way in hell it was a .22
There is your 1911 in action for ya. If he had pulled a glock, That pig would have done a u turn

The video claimed it was a colt combat elite shooting a 45 acp.
From the video, I can only tell a few things about the gun.
1) 8+1 capacity (matches Colt CE)
2) Commander-style hammer (matches Colt CE)
3) Two-tone finish (matches Colt CE)
4) Mirror polished blue slide (matches Colt CE)
The first three could match dozens of models of 1911....but #4 tells me the gun is what the video describes. The polish is high enough to see the reflection of the grass on the slide. Very few gunmakers still do that. Colt is one of them.

I honestly don't know. I've watched it two dozen times. And I can't tell.
I was the first to say I didn't think it was a .45. And I'll be the first to say I might be full of poop too. [;)]
If it had been video of me, I would have been in a two hand grip, not coming back on "target" as quickly (fella must have Popeye forearms[:D]). But I think my shots would have been more effective.
And I've got no idea what these cameras do to sound. But it didn't sound like a .45 to me. But it sure could have been. Looks like Novak sights too.
Doesn't matter what caliber you shoot....if the enemy is determined and you are a lousy shot than *'n standby..
