[QUOTE="Snookkatcher, post: 1715935, member: 53775"] Great post and thread! Good info and discussion. I live in Fla. and belong to a hunt club that leases a big chunk of Timber Co. property. All wild, no high-fences or that stuff. The property has hogs out the wazoo, and the Timber Co. would like them all dead. It’s mainly a deer hunting club, but a bunch of us do our best to oblige the Timber Co. and kill the hell out of them! Most of us are shooting them from blinds or tree stands at feeders, average range about 50 yds. away. 223/5.56 works for headshots and neck, same for .243. Most guys use .308/.270/30-06, and I’m one of them. I mainly use a Rem. 760 in .30/06, 165 gr. Fusion or Core-loct’s, and go for head or neck shots. The vast majority are bang-flop DRT’s. The vitals on a pig are way far farther forward of a deer’s, and that inadvertently produces a lot of gut shot pigs. Study the anatomy, and ‘use enough gun’ [/QUOTE]
