[QUOTE="AnesthesiaMD, post: 2579260, member: 120948"] I hunt a lot of hogs in Oklahoma. Most of my shots are around 100 yards. Have shot them with everything from a 223,6.5 grendel, 6.5 Swede, 300 blackout, 300 ham’r, 7 saum, and 308. The lesson I have learned is the only way to anchor without running is a shot 1” behind the ear. Pigs vitals are further forward than a deer. Most people shoot too far back and they will run for 100’s of yards before they realize they are dead. If you are in open plains of Texas then shoot shoulder and let them run. If you don’t want to track then shoot just behind the ear. Any caliber works with an ear shot. They aren’t invincible but are tougher than most game animals to convince that they are actually dead. Plus most shots are 50-150 from my experience. I hunt mostly day but also thermal at night for reference. [/QUOTE]
