[QUOTE="radarmonkey, post: 1287957, member: 8195"] Ok professors lend me some knowledge. My stepdad and I want to do some hog hunting this fall or winter. I've been reading through the threads here and have determined that: 1. Hogs are nocturnal. 2. Large caliber centerfire rifles work best. 3. Head shots are best...no wait, right above the elbow....no the neck...? 4. Baiting them into an area is a pretty simple way to go. So, that being said, are hogs strictly nocturnal even when the weather is cool or cold like in the fall and winter? I saw a thread where Dr Tad was going out at 3AM!!! I assume that was because of the heat in June. What about November-March? Is a 7mm Rem Mag overkill? I have other options: .30-30, 8x57mm, .223, .303 British, .30 carbine. (BTW, I don't think I would really consider the .30 carbine, just threw it out there) Any other tips/wisdom/sage advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
