RE: What firearm do you hunt hogs with?
 

Here most all wild boar is shot at either drive hunts or baits at night in only moonlight. Most recommend baiting to be doneat some 60 meters from the blind, since the boar have a good sence of smell.I would feel very uncomfortable to take headshots at any of those circumstances. I guess things are done differently here, and the law still dictates that wild boar is aclass 1 species and therefore must be shot with class 1 weapons.

I hear of many animals thatgo somewhere around 80-150 meters after a solid lung shot but what makes people go for bigger cartridges here is probably the reputation of the pigs being dangerous (OK, they can be but still). I just love hearing about you guys using weak guns and bows!:D

10-4? is that what the swedish ice hockey team beat USA with in the olympics?:D

RE: What firearm do you hunt hogs with?
 

Yeah, I guess things are done a little different here, but it is CA, what do you expect? lol.

I don't think our hawgs are as dangerous as the ones back east. I usually spot and stalk the pigs here on our open ranges. The last time I went hunting, I wanted to see how close I could get without them seeing me. SO I was able to get within about 15 feet, then decided that none of my buddies would believe me, so I whipped out my digital camera and snapped a few photos. One of the smaller pigs saw my red eye light and squelled, they all started to bolt, got my gun up, they stopped to look back at what I was, and the big boy was dead before he knew it, right through the head.

Sorry probably a little off topic. If I was shooting at night, and at dangerous hawgs, odds are that I would use something larger than a .243.

Roger that, Rebelhog! I copied the list right away. Many thanks.:)

Sometimes a thing like that is much more rewarding than killing the game. :)Great stalk.
