Nice

Fearing the worst, Seago grabbed his .38-caliber revolver and went back onto the front porch.

Seago told AL.com that it took three shots to take the hog down before it hit the ground.

A human is not at the top of the food chain against a 820 pound hog. The hog wouldn't consider the dog a lite snack.

In a related story, next he grabbed his .22 and went grizzly hunting...

Used what he had of course but wow, I would want more than a .38 against a 800lb anything.

I'm assuming you're referencing the then world record grizzly (1950's) that was taken with a .22lr rifle?

She was shooting .22 long, not long rifle. ;)

My PETA group says if you encounter something like this. Gently talk to the animal and ask it to leave. Hogs are people to. :roll:

Yum. Add a poached egg, an English muffin, and some hollandaise sauce.
