[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1599726, member: 99039"] If you have a good rest, and not trying to snipe them from 1k, you can put them down in there tracks with no squealing with a 223. I did Saturday night, 80 and 100 yds using a Caldwell field pod, Bushmaster AR-15, using a Sightmark Photon 6x50, sitting in my hay meadow with a baited area. Each shot was head base of the neck, dropped immediately, I figured as soon as I shot the first one they would scatter like quail, but they continued to feeding, decided to shoot a second one that walked up to the first one shot, same place dropped immediately. I watched as another one started acting nervous, figured they would bust any second, nope she just smelled the two that were down, jogged a little ways and started hunting acorns, so, shot her same place as the others and down she went. At this point, there was one left over and 15 piglets, I just wasn't going to shoot the piglets and did not want to shoot the lone sow. After watching for a while I couldn't believe they we're still meandering around, the piglets were eating the bait and nursing one of the dead sows. It was getting late and decided to scare them off, walked up to the batch of piglets about 10yds away, with a white light on them, the sow was about 40yds away not paying any attention, I sort of whistled at them the piglets stopped eating, head up and started to grunt a little and immediately it sounded like a bear running towards me huffing, limbs breaking, I threw the light on her she stopped 20yds away with the piglets gathered around her and I shot in front of her sending mud and leaves in her face, she took off with the piglets, huffing the whole time, she sort of meander around huffing for a few minutes about 100yds away bedobe I heard the brush popping as they made it through the woods..
