My attitude about hogs is different than many people who view them as "trophy animals". I am a grass farmer which I feed to my cows, but the hogs seem to enjoy rooting up my pastures. Therefore, they are nuisance animals, and I want them ALL dead. I don't care how they die or where they die as long as they die.

I like ballistic tips for hogs because they do "explode" on impact but penetrate enough to do lethal internal damage. They run off and die, and I don't have to dispose of them. This may sound cruel, but with farm diesel at $4.45/gallon, I don't have the time or the money to keep repairing my fields.
