[QUOTE="ed209clark, post: 2981893, member: 115650"] I have shot a lot of pigs, here in Florida, Texas will be a lot different, I have used everything from a .223 to a 338 RUM. I would suggest bringing enough gun,(slugs are amazing). Use bonded bullets!!! Big pigs are hard to kill, if you don’t shoot them in the right place (with the right kind of bullets!!) with the caliber you are using, you are going to have to go into thick stuff with snakes.., shot placement is key. MOA is fine, 6 moa is “no bueno” we were 200 yards max, most of the time 25-50 yards on a good stalk. We would ride around in a truck, find a sounder then sneak up on them some times we killed one, sometimes 3 or 4 each us and we’d have a pickup full of pork sausage( sow taste a lot better so shoot a big sow first!) It was always just at dark when we saw them here, nothing was ever perfect for shot picture or rest… if it can go wrong, it will!!! So a good follow up shot was often needed on the big ones not to mention that pig 2 & 3 are haulin *** after pig 1 is shot, even with a can the jig is up! The pigs do carry Brucellosis, it is a bacterial disease, that can be transmitted to humans, so keep that in mind as well if you are going to process them yourself and cook it well done. [/QUOTE]
