Cayugad, I just returned from a Texas hog hunt and I shot a 250 gr TC Shockwave Bonded bullet with 100 gr pyro pellets right between the eyes at 20 yards and that pig was not hurt it ran away with no blood trail. The guide estimated the hog to be around 230 based on the hoof marks. I hit it hard as we found tracks that staggered throught the woods. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1373726 I am heading back again and will not give up. I just a need better shot placement.
