A tip for you young 'uns when pig hunting with an SMLE.... Get well out in front of everyone and use the butt plate to make an imitation pig print in the mud; it's makes a nearly perfect print........

The evidence is out there and irrefutable, in order to have healthier animals, and better stags, we must shoot more hinds. Those that continue to dispute this are in denial.
