Thanks for the info. I've never tried to kill a hawg with a .22 rimfire before. This should be interesting.
You don't use .22's on Hogs, you can use Shotgun with Slugs, Sabots or Double 00....Plus, many hunters use Shotguns on Squirrels.....
I am thinking of using a .22 for hogs. I believe if you head shoot them it shoud be fine. In college we use to do a pig roast every year. We would get a live pig and when it came off the trailer we would shoot it with a .22. If looking at the hog straight on you draw a line ear to eye ear to eye. Where it cross shot there. I mean the pigs would drop. If the pigs are turned side ways you should shoot them in the ear.
I know some people that use .22s with sucess. While not ideal it is allowed and I will try it. But I would only head shoot in my opinion anything else is not ethical.
I wish I had a muzzleloader for I would use it for hogs since center fire is not allowed.
Cheers,
Chris
are muzzle loader rifleslegal to carry during small game?
