[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2871330, member: 5412"] Your AR is fine. Get premium bullets though. Varmint type rounds won't work reliably. No mag or caliber restrictions on a handgun for hogs. DrJJ is correct. Forward shot, or in the ear. If the pigs have been pressured, they will be likely nocturnal, only coming out at night. If there isn't a feeder, get one out, and make sure its hanging from a tree or on sturdy legs that are anchored. They will push it over otherwise. Pigs don't have good vision, but they have good smelling capabilities and can hear great. I put a bow stalk on one at the army ammunition depot once during a rain storm. Got within range, stood to shoot, and a tiny twig snapped under my foot. The pig is not like a deer. They don't freeze to see what the trouble is. They assume trouble is upon them, and haul butt. If you really want to help him and get more pigs off the property, get on youtube and learn how to trap them. Shooting only gets a couple, and they leave the place. Pigs are eaters of opportunity. If pressured, they move, and might not come back for weeks or longer. [/QUOTE]
