and the truth comes out.........
Shooting at running hogs, at 400 yds and he blaims the caliber.
(Shakes his head and walks away...)

lol, i guess you have to be there to understand. i guess i do blame the caliber. in my experience at hunting hogs at night, when the hogs are running, a poorly placed shot by a .30 caliber bullet is a lot more likely to halt (maybe not kill) a hog. more times than not a hog shot with a smaller caliber such as the .243 a hog will get a way if not a vital shot. 95% of the time when we are hunting with a spotlight we can chase the hogs down before they get out of a field. this will usually result in running the hogs over with the pickup, (yes we have) or getting a close to medium range shot. man this is a tough crowd. i'd hate to be at your hunting camp telling hunting stories! if you dont have it on video camera your just a liar!
