Paul, shame on you. A little discretion please. Obviously you are proud, but can't you zip that pocket up or something?
Anyone remember the Sears Wishbook 1974? Page 203 to be exact. That was one that got past the censers too. Hung right on past the Jocky shorts.

One would hope, when he says he's going out to get a hog, that he would use one of those pistols or the sword even.

A .50 Cal BMG(Browning Machine Gun) has enough power to knock the head off a pig at 500yds. I watched some guy fire one at a shooting range out here, and damn the sound of one of those things could kill a hog.

BOY'S, BOY'S, BOY'S, LET'S PUT THINGS IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE! If you know the anamoty of your quary, possess even a limited knowledge of the animals strengths and weaknesses you would know NOT TO AIM AT A BOARS HEAD! IN A HEAD ON SHOT IT WOULD BE LIKE TRYING TO STOP A CAPE BUFFALO WITH A SLING SHOT! From the side a 22 will kill most animals in North America INCLUDING MOOSE and BEAR! Just pray you can hit where you aim and that you know where to aim! Remember Bill Jordan and his buddies kill them with a BOW and Arrow! Poppie |

my mom had a pet boar when she was younger. one day her dad was in the pen getting knocked down by the thing and he started whacking it with a hammer to get it to back up. i don't think boar burgers would taste so good, but the hammer did in fact lay brutus the boar to rest. I don't think they actually ate it, but i had a breakfast sausage thing at a gas station once that tasted like a boar smells so I can imagine how bad it would be.
Am I the only one here who worked on a pig farm for a while? One day my boss drug out the sickly pig and said "grab that shovel" i didn't realize it was to whack the pig with till later. i guess you have to be there.

Excuse me gentlemen, what do you guys think of a 30/06 for wild hog hunting? I have shot 30/06 calibers before and like the feel. |

Jaime, If I had to choose one caliber for all big game hunting, the .30-06 would fill the bill for it all.

Right on Chris. Do you hunt? if so what animals have you harvested? That is a real good deal for ammo. I wonder what the biggest animal a 308. caliber can bring down. |

I would use the 308 on elk if I had to. They key is practice and proficiency, There is a slight edge in accuracy over the 30-06 with the 308, but not enough to matter much hunting big game. I personally like the old calibers for big game, I shoot a 45-70 on elk, and a 375 winchester on deer and bear. My thing I guess. I have a very good friend that has hunted about every big game on this continent excluding big bears with the 30-06. I think every manufacterer offers an 06, you can find ammo everywhere, right out to the mom and pop store in the middle of nowhere. MHO |

Jaime, bullet placement is where it's at. I have a freind that hunts hogs with a 22 short!! I use a 22-250 with a Mod 28 S&W 357 mag loaded with 158 jhp for a back up and have had to rely on it before to keep a Piney wood rooter off me. If you take your time to practice and get very profecient with your gun you can kill any amnimal in the North american continet with a small bore rife as lon gas you have the knock down and shocking power and put it in a vital area. My old dad hunted all his life with a 22 long rifle aND KILLED PLENTY OF VERY BIG DEER IN SOUTH TEXAS. Good luck a 30.o6 loaded with a 125 peters worked very well for me and took down many deer in my hunting days. Bill Jordon wrote the book "No Second Place Winner" he was a great man!

Hey Ben, thanks for the info. wow, with a 22 short! Ben, did yor dad aim for the heart and lungs or did he aim for the head. IMO, any man who hunts with a 22 caliber is a brave man. |

I grew up on our family hog farm (600+ hogs), and have killed many big domestic hogs with a 22 lr head shot. Do not think it is the best medicine for a wild hog. Maybe the range at which I did it would be imprudent in the case of ferals. I like a .444 marlin for 'em. That should give you a little leeway in bullet placement, in the event of the need for a rushed head-on shot. Wild hogs are ruggedly built critters. I also hear they can be a little bit mean. Good luck.

Hey ben no wonder you had to use your backup to keep them hogs off. why on earth would you use a 22-250 when youve got an 06?
It ait braggin as long as you can back it up

I can testify, a .270 will not kill a deer at 40yds, Glad they wern't hogs.
You need something bigger a cal 50 at least!!
However if you hit them, Then maby, probly something smaller will work!  |

I swear by my 270 Savage! My grandfather used it for many years for Elk. I use it a my "universal gun" deer/hogs/coyotes/bobcats. I've gutted coyotes @ 200yds and even had a few squirrel & rabbit puffs before. A "Puff" is about all you have left after a 140gr Failsafe hollow-point 270 hits them I have a friend that loaded me some 120gr hollow-point 270 rounds, ballistics should be about 3000 ft/sec!
If I'm going specifically after hogs I take my 35Rem and ALWAYS ALWAYS carry my S&W 357 w/ 158gr JHP for back ups, kinda hard to shoot a rifle at a dead sprint or when you 10ft up an 8ft mesquite tree! I've run across a few really P.O'd boars that would rather eat you for lunch than run, and buddy THEY ARE FAST!
Last deer season I went on 3 hunts w/my 35 Rem, I saw all kinds of deer between 200-500yds and it was frustrating! on the morning of day 2 I had a 4/1 bucks walk out @ 150yds, he really needed to be taken out of the heard, I lined up & aimed at the top of the shoulder to compensate for bullet drop & cooked off the round, he jumped like a good heart shot. I looked & looked but never found blood, I finally found the bullet hole in the tree branch behind him, the bullet dropped about 8" and shot just under him. I got mad and went home to get my 270, that afternoon I shot a doe from about 20' almost straight down out the blind window. Go figure!
a 50 Cal BMG?? even if you miss the concussion of the round passing by will knock 'em out! |

Lot has to do with shot placement. I found these pics on another hog hunting site.

Most people don't realize the heart is actually between the elbows on pigs and try to shoot behind the shoulder like they would a deer. All they accomplish is a lung shot and have to track them for long distances. |
