Tru,
Great story and the pictures are really great. Sorry, but I did laugh about you falling into the water. That was some good shooting, and yes, those big ones are hard to bring down. There are always guys over at the shooting range it seems looking for a hand gun to carry while fishing back up in the mountains in the remote canyons because of the wild boars attacking them. I wouldn't want to have to depend on my 9mm. I had rather have a 45 or a 44 magnum, but the 9mm would have to do for now. Besides it is hard to run and shoot back over your shoulder I don't care how well Roy Rogers and Gene Autry did it.
