The Tiger Stripes reduce your chances to zero.
Nevermind those other guys, they're just jealous.
I think you'll be okay so as long there is NO light reflecting from you grill startling the hog.

At 10 feet you’re going to want a lightsaber. Preferably one of those two sided ones the bad guys use.
Tiger stripes like this ? "He's close man, real close"......
Are you high? Because it sounds like you are high. There are rules on this forum. You don't get to show up high and not bring enough for everyone else.
At ten feet?
Head shot?
Draw a line from his left eye to right ear. Now draw line from right eye to left ear. X marks the spot.
If you hit him there, you can kill him with a ball peen hammer.
Can you kill him with a tiger stripe 50AE?
I doubt you could hit the whole damn hog at ten feet.

Garbage in
Garbage out
To answer your question no the Desert Eagle 50AE with a 300gr JHP just doesn't have enough energy to kill a hog at that kind of distance, at around 10 feet or longer distances like 20 feet your going to need something with much more horsepower. I would suggest something like the NTW 20 x 110mm for those kind of distances, really I would look at getting some 20mm 2000 grain API Rounds and trying to push them around 2800fps to have enough energy to kill a hog at 10 feet. These rifles and rounds are relatively cheap, I cant remember the prices the last time I was in Academy / Bass Pro / Cabelas but they were very reasonable prices for the rifle but the 20mm ammo was sold out at all locations. I have a couple of these rifles that I use for squirrel hunting here in Oklahoma, I know its a bit more than is needed for squirrel but every time I have used my 50BMG on squirrel it just didn't have the knock down power I was looking for and I had to track blood trails forever to find the animal. Just my $0.02 cents trying to help a new hide member I hope it helps and good hunting.
