No joke! This is why this conversation hit pretty close to home for me. It is a miracle that someone wasn't hurt. Only thing I can say that probably prevented that, and I'm certainly not meaning this to come across as chest thumping, is with the exception of the one time during that where my rifle jammed (smooth loading my ass) I was putting rounds into him as fast as possible. They did a lot of soft tissue damage and did break both shoulders though never penetrated through the shoulders with the exception of the two rounds that weren't recovered. When he did try to come I had put rounds into and broke both shoulders already which made it very difficult for him to get up. He was mainly able to just plow dirt and he couldn't support the weight of his front end. Again the good lord was watching over me because it happened to be at the same time he tried to charge that my rifle jammed. It took all of about a second for me to clear it but with an animal that can cover a football field in less than 4 seconds that would have been more than enough time. The round before that was the first solid I shot and the round after the jam was the second solid I shot so one of the two of those was the one which penetrated a lung and lodged in the heart. The other was a pass through which would have taken both lungs.You really were lucky someone wasn't hurt.
