More hogs
Been getting a lot more hogs recently moving in. My brother has been doing pretty good this season but the hogs are not helping the deer. Hopefully taking these out will help move the sounder away. Discouraging to see all these hogs all the time when it’s deer season. We are up to 4 hogs and 3 deer since the season opened.

I don't think it's possible to kill enough of them things. Very destructive too. They do grind up good though and are a fun hunt ...
I hear northerners say stuff like "wish we had hogs to hunt" I always inform them of the mess hogs make. And tell them it'll ruin their deer hunting .I don't think they believe me though.

One of the signs I notice when the Hogs are on the move is the Doe with fawn breaking brush, often making that screaming bark and heading for the hills.

hogs can be a real P.I.T.A. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/5...cf-430-diameter-310-grain-flat-nose-gas-check
MOLD DC C 430-310-RF
sized .430 and loaded over 21 grains of h110 does a great job
yeah a 357 mag works reasonably well if properly loaded.(assuming your a decent shot of course!)

H110 powder and a gas check hard cast bullet like this works in a 357 mag just fine if you can shoot accurately
12-13 grains of H110 , or 296 powder generally works under the NEI hard cast 171 grain bullet linked above
use 95% WW allow and 5% pure tin
