[QUOTE="Snookkatcher, post: 1715896, member: 53775"] LMAO at myself! I just noticed the dates on this thread! Still an interesting read. I live in Fla. and hunt the heck out of hogs, mainly in the hunt club I belong to. We lease 24,000 acres of timber co. property, and have them out the wazoo. Club members shoot everything from .223/5.56mm up to .300 mags of assorted flavors, and a few shotguns. Most are shot at feeders under 50 yds. A .243 works fine... plenty of power and low recoil which helps promote accurate shooting. Head shots are hands down first choice, or neck. Body shots have to go through that tough gristle shield, hog vitals are concentrated much farther forward than deer. And they don’t tend to leak much at all. Personally, I use a Rem. 760 pump in 30/06 with a Leupold VX-R 2x7 scope, with the tiny red LED dot where the crosshairs intersect. Perfect for black hogs at dawn/dusk when you lose the black crosshairs, that tiny red dot shines. [/QUOTE]
