[QUOTE="kfreeze, post: 2008442, member: 79596"] The one thing I learned going down to Texas a couple times a winter for pigs was to shoot them in the head. The pigs head and neck are the same size as a deer's lungs. Don't be scared to miss it. I use a 300 BO simply for the fact that I shoot at a lot of running pigs and want to have more ammo in the mag for that. I adjusted my lead on them (4 feet at 100 yds) to hit the head and neck and started knocking down way more pigs. Even if you hit the neck they go down and you can put another round in them. I almost only hunt them at night with thermals, so an ar is almost a must. The pigs I hunt almost always seem to be in groups so anything not semi auto is out of the question imho. Even in daylight there always seems to be multiple animals to shoot at. The only time I bring a bolt action is if we plan on trying to go out in daylight and shoot them at lomg range. Good luck hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
