Default RE: First hog hunt, a couple questions.

MY GOD!!! Dont you know that hogs can only be stopped with anti tank rounds? Seriously the last hog I shot I took with a subsonic 22 lr round. Right between the eye and ear. I am a BIG fan of the new Hornady round for the 30-30. It really reduced thew size of my buddys groups and just flat knock the pigs out. It still is not a 200 yard round but it helps a bunch.

Any of the calibers you mention will knock them flat. Dont shoot the shoulder though, aim a little bit lower and aim for the elbow, or right between the eye and ear. If he is facing you remember to aim ABOVE the eyes because their brain sits a bit high on their pointy skulls.

200 pounds are for pics and 80 pounds are for eating.
