RE: hog hunting
We actually have alot of hogs out here, especially in the area i live and on the coast as well as up north. I didn't know about this until several years ago. The place where i went, which was on a huge huge ranch, was rough hunting which i loved. Another time my dad and I went and the terrain was pretty much flat so it easy to spot hogs, just getting close enough for a shot was hard. I have gotten one so far with my dad's 300 Savage Magnum so that was fun. I want to try to get one with a bow someday. I haven't gone in awhile but i am definetly going to try to hunt for hogs as much as i can. I have yet to get any sort of big game with my bow but hopefully that will change soon.

I am thinking of my first hog hunt next year but I like to make this a challenge. Anyone ever consider using a .45 cal cap/ball revolver at close range or is that way to under gunned?
Thanks and good hunting.

When I lived in Texas I used my cap & ball revolver 1858 new army. Got me a good hog. It walked right under my stand. 15 feet BANG one dead hog.

RE: hog hunting
woofer,
All my pictures are in a shoe box, but when I have a chance I'II figure the
way to post them. We have trapped up to 15 a day.My buddy has
2500 acres 2 miles from me.Here in Tampa Fl. it's a big profit. All the Cubans
want one to roast for Christmas dinner. $4 a pound and $25 to to Shave and
butcher. We have done up to 5 a day.We bought a walk-in cooler from a wrecked
refrigerated truck.

back in missouri I use either my marlin 44 mag rifle with handloads loaded with a Barnes X pistol bullet or my marlin 30-30 with handloads loaded with a 150 grain barnes X bullet or I use 170 grain remington core lokt factory ammo. I even killed a few with a 357 revolver with handloads loaded with a 180 grain Hornady XTP/HP.
