Enough Gun For Hogs

[Oklahomabassin]

Some say "take plenty of gun" for pigs. Here is a pig killed with a pellet rifle.

I still prefer my .45-70.

45-70 ot .458 SOCOM, that way when the herd turns on ya you are covered... Nice shot though!!

+1 for the 45-70. I’ve killed hogs with other calibers, but gotta love the 45-70.

Precisely the reason I bought Thumper--I often hunt alone, so I wanted something that would anchor Porky in the 1% chance he decides to charge.

I’ve killed several with my 10/22. One shot, dropped. CCI standard velocity.

I’ve killed pigs with a variety of calibers (including 22 lr and 17 hmr but never a pellet gun), but my go-to is an elephant gun.

The only pig I ever shot/killed was with a .22LR.

He dressed out at 15 lbs...

... and an electric smart car will get you down the road, but a Cadillac is a nicer ride and a Corvette will get you there much faster.
