Hubby takes a .22 with him and my Dad carries a pistol (.44 I think but am not sure). We use dogs and hubby goes in to where the dogs are baying and dispatches the hog. My Dad stays on his mule and watches for any running out. I am the official mule holder for hubby -- and I take my job seriously!!! Basically I am along for the ride when we hunt here but do hunt hogs when we go bowhunting in West Texas.

Hope you enjoy hunting ... it is exciting!
